industry and social engagement As one
of the largest European suppliers of interior design
solutions for working environments, it’s also our
responsibility to drive development in sustainability
issues. The Kinnarps AB Group is represented on the
board of the 100 Group – an association that works
for a more sustainable interior design industry in
Sweden. Our commitment also includes membership
of Swedish and international FSC®. We’re also
part of the Möbelfakta Criteria Council for further
development of the Möbelfakta labelling system.
The Kinnarps AB Group is a member of the Swedish
trade association and employers’ organisation the
Swedish Federation of Wood and Furniture Industry
(Trä- och Möbelföretagen, TMF) and the European
trade organisation European Federation of Office
Furniture (FEMB). We are members of Interior Cluster
Sweden, where we are represented on the board. We
work actively to develop furniture quality standards
in Sweden and internationally through the Swedish
Standards Institute (SIS), Comité Européen de Nor-
malisation (CEN) and International Organisation for
Standardisation (ISO).
governance and responsibility Governance
of our sustainability work is based on our Sustainability
Policy and Code of Conduct. These apply to the oper-
ations of the whole Group and are based on Kinnarps’
core values. The Code of Conduct is based on the UN’s
Global Compact and is also clarified for our suppliers
in our Supplier Code of Conduct.
Our sustainability work is firmly anchored in the
board and management team, and is an integral part
of the Group’s strategy: “Let the Star Shine”. The Group
management determines the direction and goals of
the work, and the sustainability manager is responsible
for the development and coordination of sustainability
work in the Group. Locally, each manager is respon-
sible for compliance in their area, and in larger units
the work is led and coordinated by local quality and
environmental functions.
Audits of the operations take place in units that are
ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified, and
compliance with the Code of Conduct is monitored
by means of supplier audits.
Governance and follow-up of our sustainability work
has proceeded according to plan during the year,
and is deemed to be functioning well.
