Social responsibility

Within the USS group, we already have taken initiatives in interacting with local communities, for example in the form of sponsorships to sport and youth activities. Our intension is to align community involvement in direct relation to our material impact assessment outcome and achieve a corporate profile on our efforts.

The complience of labour market regulations, human rights, equal opportunity, health and safety for our own staff as well as for the workers of our suppliers is a focal point. We do have USS Code of Conduct that safeguards these issues. We are making equal pay for equal work analysis and reporting on corporate level to the Swedish authorities. Furthermore, we are in the process of developing and implementing systems and software to investigate and monitor the conditions related to our suppliers’ workers according to the EU Transparency act.
