Sustainability
How we look after our people
We act with integrity and respect human rights across our operations and value chain, embracing diversity and inclusion, to transform the communities in which we operate.
Our focus on people covers many different aspects. It's about ensuring a safe and diverse work environment, developing our talented workforce, embracing our values and our approach to human rights. It also includes the numerous local projects we carry out through our AkzoNobel Cares societal program that bring significant benefits to people and communities around the world.
Employees
Looking after our people is an integral part of being sustainable. Focusing on organizational health and fostering an inclusive environment are key when it comes to growing our employees as fast as we grow our business.
Human rights
At AkzoNobel, we understand that through our roles as employer, manufacturer, business partner and member of many communities, we can potentially both directly and indirectly impact the lives of millions of people. We recognize the responsibility we have to respect the human rights of people in our value chain and the influence we can have on bringing about improvements.
AkzoNobel Cares
For many years, our different social programs have been showing the world AkzoNobel Cares. They help people and their communities, build employee pride and strengthen our reputation – as well as simply being the right thing to do. It’s what we call delivering shared value for everyone. Our main social programs focus on inspiring, uplifting and renovating communities, as well as educating, mentoring and training future generations.
