Aqua-Nova

Sustainability Policy

Applies to the entire organization and our supply chain

Aqua-Nova AB is committed to long-term value creation in accordance with international
principles for human rights, working conditions, the environment, and business ethics.
This policy guides our decisions, our relationships with suppliers, and how we monitor
performance.

Our Commitments

Human Rights and Working Conditions

We respect the UN Guiding Principles and the ILO Core Conventions. No discrimination,
no forced or child labor, freedom of association, and fair working conditions.
Health and safety are prioritized in all operations.

Environment and Climate

We minimize environmental impact in accordance with our Environmental Policy:
comply with laws, prevent pollution, conserve resources, optimize energy and water use,
and strive for continuous improvement in design, purchasing, production, and testing.

Business Ethics and Integrity

Zero tolerance for corruption, bribery, and conflicts of interest.
We promote fair competition, data protection, and confidentiality.
Deviations can be reported anonymously and are handled promptly.

Responsible Supply Chain

Suppliers must comply with this policy and applicable laws.
Requirements include traceability, correct material certificates (e.g., EN 10204 3.1),
a safe working environment, and respect for human rights.
Deficiencies result in corrective action plans or delisting.

Implementation and Follow-up

  • Risk-based due diligence and supplier assessments. Significant risks are prioritized.
  • Objectives, KPIs, and CAPA are used to drive improvements. Management reviews annually at minimum.
  • Employee training on relevant parts of the policy and procedures.
  • Transparency: requested certificates and documentation are provided to customers and authorities.

This policy complements the Environmental Policy and Supply Chain Responsibility Policy,
and refers to the UN Global Compact, the UN Guiding Principles, and the ILO Core Conventions.

Hållbarhetspolicy

Gäller för hela verksamheten och vår leverantörskedja

Aqua-Nova AB verkar för långsiktigt värdeskapande i enlighet med internationella principer för
mänskliga rättigheter, arbetsvillkor, miljö och affärsetik. Denna policy styr våra beslut, våra
relationer med leverantörer och hur vi följer upp arbetet.

Våra åtaganden

Mänskliga rättigheter och arbetsvillkor

Vi respekterar FN:s vägledande principer och ILO:s kärnkonventioner. Ingen diskriminering,
inget tvångs- eller barnarbete, föreningsfrihet och skäliga arbetsvillkor.
Hälsa och säkerhet prioriteras i all verksamhet.

Miljö och klimat

Vi minimerar miljöpåverkan enligt vår Miljöpolicy: följer lagar, förebygger förorening,
hushåller med resurser, optimerar energi- och vattenanvändning och arbetar med
ständiga förbättringar i konstruktion, inköp, produktion och provning.

Affärsetik och integritet

Nolltolerans mot korruption, mutor och intressekonflikter. Vi verkar för rättvis konkurrens,
dataskydd och konfidentialitet. Avvikelser kan rapporteras anonymt och hanteras skyndsamt.

Ansvarsfull leveranskedja

Leverantörer ska följa denna policy och tillämpliga lagar. Krav på spårbarhet, rätt materialintyg
(t.ex. EN 10204 3.1), säker arbetsmiljö och respekt för mänskliga rättigheter.
Brister leder till åtgärdsplan eller avlistning.

Genomförande och uppföljning

  • Riskbaserad due diligence och leverantörsbedömningar. Väsentliga risker prioriteras.
  • Mål, nyckeltal och CAPA används för att driva förbättringar. Ledningen följer upp minst årligen.
  • Utbildning av medarbetare i relevanta delar av policyn och rutiner.
  • Transparens: efterfrågade intyg och underlag lämnas till kunder och myndigheter.

Denna policy kompletteras av Miljöpolicy och Supply Chain Responsibility Policy, samt hänvisar
till FN:s Global Compact, FN:s vägledande principer och ILO:s kärnkonventioner.
