Governance
Trelleborg’s policy in this area is principally regulated by the Group’s Code of Conduct (Compliance with laws) and the Communications policy and Sponsorship recommendations (contributions/lobbying). The overriding responsibility for issues is borne by the managers of Group Human Resources (Code of Conduct), Group Legal Department (compliance with laws), Corporate Communications (communications policy, sponsorship recommendations), while compliance in the daily work is the responsibility of the line managers. It is also the responsibility of the managers to ensure that training related to the Group’s Code of Conduct is included in the employees’ training program.
The Group conducts training activities and communication to support this, in addition to training within the area of competition legislation.
The main tool used for following up the Group’s Code of Conduct is self-assessment in accordance with the model presented
here, supported by randomly conducted thirdparty audits.
