UN Global Compact and social responsibility
Skjern Paper has been a member of the UN Global Compact and its Nordic network since 2013. By that we have committed to acting socially responsible with offset in a number of basic principles about human rights, workers’ rights, environment, and anti-corruption. Our continuous efforts towards improving the working environment, optimising our energy consumption, and assuming our social responsibility reflect in the best possible manner the UN Global Compact principles.
At Skjern Paper we acknowledge our social responsibility. We are very aware of this social responsibility and materialise it by, among others, inviting small local companies to participate in our tenders; we organize visits from associations and schools; and we support a number of charities in the local community. In addition, we are a partner company with Green Network, where we share knowledge, participate in CSR seminars, etc.
Skjern Paper is a major workplace in the local community employing around 75 people.
