Employees and social conditions
Until the integration is finalized, in those areas where full integration into PMI’s global sustainability structure has not been completed, Swedish Match will continue to uphold to its current policies and goals.
In particular, Swedish Match continues to provide ergonomically sound workplaces, free from health and safety hazards. Specific activities, including safety trainings and wellness programs, are carried out at the operational level to ensure the physical and mental wellbeing of our employees. Furthermore, periodic inspections are conducted by an independent third party at major production facilities. These inspections assess, among other things, to what level the facilities meet Swedish Match work safety standards and determine whether there are actions required to further reduce risk. We are committed to non-discrimination in all employment practices, policies, benefits and procedures and we work diligently to make sure that all our managers and employees understand that there is zero tolerance for discrimination. Neither employees, nor potential employees, should feel that they are or could be the subject of discrimination at Swedish Match.
