OUR SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY
Results at-a-glance in 2022/23
Goals and activities for the future
• The number of ISO 45001 certificates on
management of occupational health and
safety has increased from 27 to 31
• Dedicated efforts to identify and improve
reporting of Unsafe Condition/Unsafe Act
and Near-Miss has led to a significant
reduction of up to 66% in the number of
accidents at one of our companies
• In 2023, AVK established the People &
Leadership function, which focuses on
inclusion and diversity, amongst other
leading priorities
• We expect further implementation of ISO
45001 in 2023/24
• Our safety target is an accident frequency
rate of less than three by 2030 (LTIFR)
- To reach this goal, safety work will be
further intensified during 2023/24 and in
the future
• We will review our ethics and human rights
policy and develop a Code of Conduct
for employees. This will supplement the
already existing Code of Conduct for
external partners
• During the financial year of 2023/24, we
will implement a succession planning
process and tools to ensure that we work
strategically with diversity. At the same
time, we will improve our diversity data
Our employees
As a global Group, we take our social
responsibility seriously. This means that we
provide attractive jobs and want to create the
best framework for employees’ development
and well-being. Our employee handbook
and policies set the guidelines and provide
reassurance for employees to better understand
their opportunities, rights, and obligations.
The AVK Group has over 4,800 employees
working in our companies across the world.
As a result, we are characterised by a high
degree of diversity, as our employees represent
many different professional functions and
backgrounds. We consider diversity to be a
strength and we respect and value everyone
regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, religious
beliefs, or sexual orientation.
