important factor for TTIP is nding common
standards, so that US and European companies
can more easily do business across the Atlantic.
For the defence industry and for Saab, colla-
boration is vital. We have had established interna-
tional partnerships for many years in training,
research and development and production, which
have helped to make the company a success in its
areas of expertise. While our research and devel-
opment is primarily based in Sweden, we are con-
stantly expanding internationally. As part of the
Gripen contract with Brazil, for example, we are
broadening development ties with Brazilian
industry and universities.
Trade and international business relationships
make Saab and the world in which we live stronger.
Like many other Swedish industrial companies,
exports are critical to Saabs strength and survival.
With Sweden as a base, export opportunities con-
tribute to our ability to develop more of tomorrow’s
defence solutions.
SAAB – AN OPEN AND
TRANSPARENT COMPANY
Saab is an open and transparent company and
takes an active part in the development of global
guidelines and regulations for business ethics.
In 2011, we endorsed the UN’s Global Compact
and its ten principles in the areas of human rights,
labour, the environment and anti-corruption.
e Global Compact is integrated in the Saab
Code of Conduct. Saab is and will remain a long-
term, reliable business partner that embraces an
open and transparent market.
Stockholm, February 2015
Marcus Wallenberg
Chairman
For the defence industry and Saab,
collaboration is vital. We have had
established international partner-
ships for many years in training,
research and development, and
production, which have helped to
make the company a success in
its areas of expertise.
