Sustainability

Employees

We shall lay the foundation for healthy employees with good, safe and developing jobs.

A good work environment is important for the individual employee and crucial for BioMar to achieve its goals.

BioMar shall work towards our employees suffering no work-related injuries and illnesses, and will lay the foundation for individuals contributing to being responsible for their own health.

BioMar shall have a work environment that promotes health and wellbeing and contributes to limiting employee sick leave. Health and the work environment shall be planned and prioritised along the same lines as other primary goals, and managed through risk assessments, continuous focus and preventive work.

BioMar as an employer and its employees can achieve greater things with the occupational health service's HSE skills. Wellbeing shall be promoted through different welfare measures and an increased awareness of development of a BioMar culture. Health and the work environment is a management responsibility that is implemented in line with and supported by the Work Environment Committee, safety officers and the established trustee apparatus.
