COP 22/23 - Report - Side 29
What makes sense to our employee, what do
they find valuable, how do we ensure they
leave work happy, and not least wake up
happy to have a job at HORN.
Made in Denmark
Sustainable sourcing practices
We have a strong craftmanship and design heritage. To
support local community activity, we have made an active
choice to keep our business facilities in the small Danish village; Aulum.
As we source materials from most of the world, we know that
we need to start finding solutions, that secures basic rights of
all workers along our value chain, and hope, that nomatter
our size and resources, we will be able to influence more
sustainable sourcing practices, by making the right material
choices.
We therefore naturally comply with Danish legislation, which
fulfils international conventions. Furthermore our certified products in general set high standards to the entire value chain
regarding both environment, labour- & human rights.
Revitalized working environment
Our starting point is alright, but we are very much aware of
our social responsibility and know that our success is based
on our employees and their individual expertise and craftsmanship and therefore strive to advance their employment
terms.
Documented effects
We have a responsibility to ensure that our plans and ambitions to ensure quality for the people involved in our productions processes is implemented. This year we obtained
the B-Corp (Better Corporation) certification, which measure
our entire social and environmental impact and set goals for
its members to meet high standards of verified performance,
accountability, and transparency in its work with employees
and their benefits. The certification help us draw a holistic
overview of where to improve our actions, to establish the
best working environment for our colleagues both internally
and throughout our value chain.
