SUSTAINABILITY
Governance
Sustainability, based on social, environmental, and economic responsibility, underpins our business. Our vision, mission, values, code of conduct and other governance documents guide employees and managers in their day-to-day and strategic work, and cover HR and social issues, human rights, the environment, and anti-corruption. Starbreeze’s management team is responsible for the company’s sustainability work, where the ultimate responsibility lies with the CEO.
In 2023, work began for Starbreeze to establish a framework to prioritize the most relevant environmental, social, and corporate governance issues. The work will take account of established international principles, regulations, standards, and guidelines. Examples include the UN Global Compact, the EU Taxonomy, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
Main policies
Starbreeze has a set of policies that support the sustainability work in our operations. Our most important policies are our Code of Conduct, HR policies, IP data protection and data integrity policies. The Code of Conduct includes how we must work within business ethics, anti-corruption, corporate governance, and the environment, and how we act towards our colleagues and business partners.
All policy documents are prepared by the person responsible in accordance with Starbreeze’s internal control guidelines and are updated at least annually, or when necessary. The central documents are approved annually by the Board of Directors, and each new employee must have access to them.
