SUSTAINABILITY
For RelyOn Nutec, safety is not only our business – it is in
our DNA. Helping our customers to ensure a healthy and
safe work environment is our purpose, and we take pride in
ensuring that our delegates have the right skill set to stay
safe in hazardous and potentially life-threatening situations.
We are committed to protecting the health, safety, and
wellbeing of all employees, delegates, and visitors across
the entire organisation. We focus on minimising risks and
raising awareness about health and safety for our
employees.
We conduct our business based on compliance with
applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations, integrity, and
high ethical standards. We reduce the risk of corruption by
working actively to ensure that our employees have the right
knowledge and skills.
RelyOn Nutec continuously identifies, prevents or mitigates
its risks of adverse impacts on the core principles for
sustainability. The main risks related to our environmental
impact are through the emissions inevitable as part of our
physical training operations. We are committed to reducing
the environmental footprint of our operations through
efficient use of resources and continuous focus on reducing
our energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
We operate our business with respect for human and labour
rights everywhere and expect the same from our business
partners.
We are a global business delivering safety and competence
services across the world, helping our customers protect
their people, assets, and the environment. Our training
solutions are designed with the principle of providing realistic
and fully immersive training experiences. Globally, our
capability has developed beyond safety and survival training
to include more advanced and technical training and
corporate services to help companies better manage their
overall training and competence needs. Knowledge and
experience are transferable, and we play an increasingly
significant role in developing a safe workplace helping
customers in safety critical industries improve safety.
Governance and risk | Sustainability
Customers across the world choose and trust us year after
year because we put reliability, competence and
sustainability first.
Our responsibility and commitment to ensuring the safety of
our employees and those affected by our business, remain
core to our strategic commitment “safety is in our DNA”.
Understanding and managing our risks to avoid harm to
people, related to all our activities, stand firm and are
consistent with the United Nations Guiding Principles
(UNGPs) on Business and Human Rights and the outlined
ten principles. In 2021, we worked towards further
integrating the ten principles into our management system,
building capacity to address and manage risks, and
continued to embed environmental, economic and human
rights due diligence into our processes. The impact
assessments performed on human-, environmental- and
economic rights have showed that we are exposed to
impacts particularly regarding human rights, in the health
and safety area, which we mitigate through continuous
global and local initiatives.
The UN's Global Compact
The UN's Global Compact is the world's largest CSR
initiative. The registration obliges to prepare an annual
progress report, in which the participating companies
describe the work of translating the UN Global Compact's
ten principles into the company's strategy and actions.
As part of the initiative, we publish a Communication on
Progress (CoP) report every year, which constitutes the
company's progress report
https://relyonnutec.com/media/stgfhn21/communicationonprogress-
2021.pdf. The report describes our work to systematically act
responsibly in relation to the three bottom lines: social,
environmental, and economic sustainability.
EU Taxonomy
The EU Commission has established the EU Taxonomy as
an enabler to scale up sustainable investments. The
taxonomy is a catalogue of environmentally sustainable
economic activities, each with criteria to determine if they
substantially contribute towards a sustainable economy. In
June 2021, the Commission adopted the Climate Delegated
Act for the first two out of six environmental objectives of the
Taxonomy Regulation, namely climate change mitigation
and climate change adaptation, with the remaining four
expected during 2022.
We have assessed whether our activities can be identified in
the taxonomy and thereby be classified as taxonomy-
eligible. Our current assessment is, based on NACE codes
and analyses of our activities, that our primary activity is not
currently covered by the taxonomy and we will therefore
report revenue, OPEX and CAPEX as 0 with respect to the
taxonomy reporting this year.
We expect that this will change; and we therefore expect to
report on taxonomy-eligible revenue in the coming years.
We want to ensure that we live up to the criteria regarding
‘substantial contribution’ followed by ‘do no significant harm’
and minimum social safeguards, after which we can classify
our activities as taxonomy-aligned.
The framework for RelyOn Nutec’s commitment
We continued the dedicated work initiated in 2020.
Sustainability and Environmental Social Governance (ESG)
have been – and will continue to be one of the key areas of
focus. Our sustainability commitment is further outlined here:
https://relyonnutec.com/sustainability/
The backbone of our CSR strategy - now also called
Sustainability or ESG (Environmental, Social and
Governance) - is shaped by the ten principles of the UN
Global Compact. Our mission is to provide high-quality
services, while also influencing and strengthening the
compliance with internationally proclaimed principles for
Human Rights and Labour Standards, Environment and
Anti-corruption.
o We strive to monitor and manage the sustainability risks
associated with our business.
o We know that responsible business conduct provides
sustainable, long-term business results, and that
responsibility is a prerequisite for retaining our
customers’ trust and confidence.
o Addressing and working with the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) give our company an
important voice.
Implementation and Due Diligence
RelyOn Nutec’s commitment is based on the agreed core
principles for sustainable development. We naturally comply
with local legislation wherever we operate.
Key focus areas and contributions
RelyOn Nutec works actively to support the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals SDGs and shares the view that
business has a key role to play in implementing the goals. Our
business activities have both positive and negative impacts on
the SDGs. RelyOn Nutec supports all the 17 SDGs and
contributes in particular to the following four goals: Gender
equality, decent work and economic growth, climate action and
anti-corruption.
Below is a description of our focus areas.
REPORTING
Reporting on corporate social responsibility cf.
sections 99a and 99b of the Danish Financial Statement
Act
Our annual report meets the requirements of sections 99a and
99b of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Reporting on Data Ethics cf. section 99d of the Danish
Financial Statement Act
The responsible use of data is a critical enabler for RelyOn
Nutec’s business. It is vital to manage the use of customers’
and employees’ data in an ethical, responsible and transparent
manner to avoid abuse and privacy infringement issues.
In 2021, a policy on data ethics with accompanying governance
measures was implemented in accordance with regulatory
requirements. The policy is published and implemented and is
available for all employees on the Group's QMS
In addition to this, our commitment means that we
continuously identify, prevent or mitigate our risk of adverse
impacts in relation to the core principles for sustainability. As
part of our commitment, we are performing continuous
impact assessments analysing our risk of possible impacts
on the areas covered by the UN Guidelines. The impact
assessments allow us the broadest picture of our business
risks as possible. For the vast majority of the risks, the
analysis showed that RelyOn Nutec already had efforts to
prevent or mitigate them, but the analysis led to focus areas
where the work with social responsibility could be concretely
clarified and optimised.
We will continuously seek to contribute proactively to
sustainable development, where it makes most sense and
where we can have the best impact.
