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 in accordance with our business
model (please cf. pages 13-14) and based on compliance
with applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations,
integrity, and high ethical standards. Anti-corruption and
bribery are considered business risks due to the
geographies we operate in. 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
CO
2
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.
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 2023, 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 shown 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 registration to the UN's Global Compact obliges us to
prepare an annual progress report, in which we 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 both publish a Communication
on Progress (CoP) report every year and report ESG data
to Global Compact. The report describes our work to
systematically act responsibly in relation to the three
bottom lines: social, environmental and economic
sustainability.
The framework for RelyOn Nutec’s
commitment
We continued the dedicated work initiated in 2020.
Sustainability and Environmental Social Governance
(ESG) has 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 sustainability strategy 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.
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. We are performing 2 new impact assessment
(IA) per year on the Human-, Environmental- and
Economic Rights.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 greatest impact.
Key focus areas and contributions
