We believe that maintaining high ESG standards makes good business sense. Furthermore, we are convinced that responsible leadership in these areas has considerable potential to drive growth and promote development in the countries and communities where Permascand is present. All employees and management are required to be familiar with and follow all aspects of our ESG policies. The CEO is responsible to ensure that the company’s ESG policies are respected throughout the company.

Reducing environmental impact

While Permascand acknowledges that its operations have varying degrees of environmental impact, through the application of innovative technologies and techniques, we actively seek to reduce that footprint as much as possible.

Examples include improving energy efficiency at our own installations and those of our customers, reducing waste, and promoting the efficient use of resources.

Promoting social responsibility

The company respects all internationally recognized human rights agreements, and strives to provide good working conditions for all employees. Evaluations are to be regularly conducted to ensure failings are identified and addressed.

Permascand makes no distinction between gender, sexual orientation, age, race, skin color, ethnic background, religion, trade union membership, or physical ability. The company must also ensure that it does not use – directly or indirectly – forced labor, illegal child labor, or unlawful migrant labor.

Corporate governance

Permascand has anti-corruption and whistleblowing policies in place, which all employees are required to respect. The company is required to accurately report all relevant financial information and business performance.

Permascand and its employees must always behave ethically and honestly in all business relationships and transactions, and in the best interests of the company.
