At Fynbo Foods, we are deeply committed to our social responsibility, encompassing our employees, the local community, and our entire supply chain.

Our employees are vital to our business, and their well-being is a significant factor in the continued success of our company. In addition to ongoing communication between HR, management, and employees, we have conducted an anonymous survey of our social capital since 2012, covering trust, fairness, and cooperation. Starting in 2023, we also measure our eNPS, which gauges employee loyalty.

Our employees' working conditions must meet legal requirements and relevant collective agreements. Compliance with international conventions on human rights and labor conditions, including the UN Global Compact and ILO conventions, is fundamental. We are a proud member of the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) and are subject to both the Industry Agreement and the Salaried Employee Agreement.

Our personnel strategy embraces diversity, inclusion, and the diverse labor market. We have employees of over 10 different nationalities, offer apprenticeships, internships, study positions, and vocational training, employ unskilled and skilled workers, have employees with various educational backgrounds, accommodate flexible work arrangements, senior employment programs, and more. We also serve as a business center for the local job center in Hjørring Municipality, collaborating closely to help unemployed individuals find meaningful activities that contribute to their skill development and enhance their employment prospects. Over the past decade, we've hosted over 200 job placement trainees, with a significant portion subsequently becoming our employees.

Our internal personnel policies support the inclusive labor market in various ways. New employees receive these policies through our personnel handbook and an oral introduction. They learn about our zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, harassment, corrupt practices, forced labor, child labor, and other forms of illegal or unethical conduct. Additionally, all employees are introduced to our internal whistleblower system.

Even though we produce our products in Denmark and adhere to Danish legislation as well as international conventions on human rights and labor rights, our responsibility doesn't stop there. We source raw materials, ingredients, and packaging from around the world, which extends our responsibility beyond Danish borders.

Supplier Selection and Code of Conduct. We have a robust procedure for risk assessment, approval, and ongoing evaluation of our suppliers. These procedures are an integral part of our quality management system.

Our suppliers are carefully selected and must meet a wide range of criteria. They are required to sign our "Code of Conduct for Suppliers," which sets out our requirements and standards in the field of CSR. The code is developed, among other things, based on the UN's Global Compact, Human Rights Convention, and ILO conventions. Additionally, the code reflects the CSR requirements that we receive from our customers.

The code includes prohibitions on illegal business practices, including corruption, forced labor, discrimination, violent behavior, child labor, as well as guidelines and minimum standards for employment conditions (contract, wage conditions, working hours, etc.) and working environment. Suppliers commit to complying with these requirements and to impose similar requirements on their subcontractors.

If we are dealing with a supplier with production in countries categorized as high-risk countries according to BSCI's Country Risk Classification, we impose stricter requirements. The CSR conditions of such suppliers must be audited or certified by a recognized independent agency with satisfactory results, such as Sedex/SMETA (audit report and corrective action report) or a BSCI audit report.
