Human & Employee Rights

nkt cables is a global company with strong emphasis on enforcing ethical guidelines both internally and externally, whilst creating and maintaining good working conditions for our main asset, the employees.

nkt cables is a global company represented in more than 20 countries. All local management teams in nkt cables are required, on a yearly basis, to draft and sign a Statement of Representation on the UN Global Compact principles to ensure that the fundamental principles in NKT’s ethical guidelines are known and followed throughout the organization. We have made efforts to promote the same principles in our supplier base. We have communicated our commitment to the UN Global Compact to our top suppliers and surveyed them regarding their position towards the UN Global Compact.

Our employees are our key assets and we firmly believe that the company’s results can only be improved by educating our employees. We provide training and development opportunities throughout the organization, regardless of gender, race, age or religion. In all countries in which nkt cables operates, we will provide our employees with a safe and healthy working environment. We have a goal of zero accidents for every factory. We continuously measure, analyse and improve our processes as part of our efforts to achieve this zero accidents goal.

We have established an extended monthly reporting system (accident scorecards) and over the last 5 years we have reduced the frequency of accidents by more than 25%. A new action plan is underway to strive for zero accidents.
