Our stakeholders
Addtech has identified five important stakeholder groups for the
Group: customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders and the
community. Addtech strives to maintain an open dialogue with the
Group's stakeholders on how the operations are conducted, and to
explain priorities, decisions and the results achieved. Addtech
considers this to be fundamental to the Group's ability to focus on
the right issues in its CSR work. To ensure optimal CSR work,
Addtech welcomes contacts from stakeholders wishing to engage in
dialogue about their views on the focus or results of this work.
Information on the major CSR issues is communicated to stakeholders
mainly via the sustainability report. Dialogue with stakeholders is
conducted partly at Group level, but also by Group companies to a
substantial extent. Following dialogue with the Group's
stakeholders, Group management, in consultation with the Board of
Directors, decides on which CSR issues are of major importance to
the Group and on Group-wide working methods and targets.
In 2010/2011, both an internal and external stakeholder analysis
was conducted to ensure that Addtech is working and reporting on
the areas of most importance to operations and stakeholders. The
internal stakeholders represented Addtech's four business areas and
the external stakeholders comprised key 6 customers and major
shareholders. The dialogue with stakeholders showed that they value
Addtech's heightened engagement in CSR matters. Based on the
stakeholder analysis, Addtech prepared a communication and action
plan for how the Company is to establish the work more firmly in
the Group, and produced information material about what the CSR
work involves. The latter is used both internally and
externally.
The results of the stakeholder analysis showed that the matters
with the highest priority were business ethics, occupational
environment, energy consumption and earnings trend. During this
financial year, Addtech continued to work on these areas.
The table "Economic value generated and distributed" illustrates
how the value generated by the Group's operations has grown and
been distributed to various stakeholder groups. During the year,
Addtech did not receive any substantial financial support from the
public sector.
