Sustainability - A matter of trust

Alfa Laval's Business Principles describe the way we must act within society whilst achieving our business goals.

By aspiring to our Business Principles, we can find many opportunities to contribute to a more sustainable future and deliver better everyday conditions for people. The Business Principles help us ensure that we are acting in a way that does not infringe on human rights, the environment or our business integrity.

  • Business integrity - High ethical standards guide our conduct
  • Environment - Optimizing the use of natural resources is our business
  • Social - Respect for human rights is fundamental
  • Transparency - Our commitment to open dialogue builds trust

We can never be complacent about our progress of implementing the Business Principles because there are always aspects in which we can improve. Nevertheless; we like to be a performance-driven company, operating with strong ethical principles which extend through the supply chain and in which employees are proud to work. This helps us to offer excellent value, quality and security for customers and investors alike.
