ENVIRONMENT
Responsibility for Saab’s strategic development and oversight of
environmental work rests with Group Quality & Environment. Operat-
ing issues are handled by the business areas, whose managers
ultimately bear responsibility for compliance with environmental
requirements. The goals that are set at the Group level are broken
down by business area, work group, etc. The Group Environ mental
Council coordinates and follows up environmental work within Saab.
EMPLOYEES
Saab’s Senior Vice President and Head of Group Human Resources
has overarching responsibility for HR work within the Group. Co-
ordination and development of the Group’s HR work is handled by
the HR units within each business area under the leadership of the
HR staff.
BUSINESS ETHICS
The General Counsel has overarching responsibility for our code
of conduct and for raising business ethics issues in the organisa-
tion. In the course of day-to-day operations, every employee has
an individual and shared responsibility to comply with the code of
conduct. If any confusion arises, it is the duty of the employee to
bring it to the attention of his or her immediate supervisor. Saab has
also established a whistleblower function as well as an ethics and
compliance unit within the legal department, which is responsible
for the Group’s rules and ethical standards.
SOCIETY
Our efforts are guided by our overall vision, business concept and
values. Certain specific measures are governed by our sponsorship
policy, which requires that sponsorship activities generally focus on
education and technology.
