Governance
Sustainability strategy and goals
Fristads’ management group is responsible for setting the overall sustainability strategy, actions and KPIs, and ensuring that they are known to every department and everyone working in the company, including part-time workers and consultants. Fristads’ management group follows up on the sustainability goals and informs the vice president of Hultafors Group’s PPE division, to which Fristads belongs, on key sustainability issues. The vice president of PPE in turn reports to Hultafors Group’s management team.
