Caring for People
We recognize that our success is built on the strength and dedication of our employees, and our respect of human and workers rights is at the heart of sustainable development.
Own employees The success we have today and our continued success going forward is, among other things, built on the strength and dedication of all our employees world-wide. In other words, the true value of our company lies in the competence and commitment of each of our employees. Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace aims to be a great place to work and be employed. In Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace we see diversity as a strength. Through an inclusive culture where our employees experience being treated with respect, equality and feeling that they belong, we work purposefully to ensure that individuals’ differences are valued – leading to create a good working environment in line with company values. We encourage and support employees and third parties to speak up and raise concerns. A part of this includes providing safe forums for feedback ad improvements such as the Working Environment Committee (AMU). Leadership is about creating value and achieving results through others. The key to success lies in the combination of good leadership and dedicated employees. Our managers are important role models, and their good leadership will have great significance for our further development. Managers are expected to exercise their leadership based on our values, ethical
guidelines and leadership principles. To ensure this, we offer a range of leadership development programmes.
Workers in the value chain It is not only our own employees who are important to us and our value creation. Respect for human rights is integral to our Code of Conduct and business conduct and is essential to our license to operate. In order to safeguard our responsibility for workers in our own value chain, and any areas affected by our operations, we carry out human rights impact assessments where there is a risk of adverse consequences. The responsibility industries and businesses have of ensuring fundamental human rights in their own value chains and affected areas has been reinforced in various legislation and guidelines in recent years. Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has integrated these legislations and guidelines in our own value chain and human rights due diligence processes.
