Employees
Norske Skog has highly qualified and dedicated employees at all levels and in all units.
Cooperation with employee representatives
At all levels in our organisation, we have established formal agreements with elected employee representatives on the exchange of information and consultation.
Human rights
At Norske Skog, we believe that respect for human rights is a cornerstone of responsible and sustainable business.
Our core values of openness, honesty and cooperation as well as our policies and guidelines build on the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 10 principles of UN Global Compact.
Our business units are often the cornerstone of local communities, and many are the largest employer in their region. As well as providing both direct and indirect employment, these facilities work closely at the local level with communities to assist with other needs.
Social responsibility involves remaining sensitive to the needs of local communities and aware of the impact our operations have upon them. It means maintaining an open dialogue and responding with local measures. It also means showing respect for, and building upon, local cultures and traditions.
