Rosenxt’s sustainability journey is in its early stages. Despite our 40 years of engineering expertise, we are a new company. With this has come new offices, new ways of working, new processes and procedures, and new customers. We are developing a robust sustainability strategy, plan, and reporting framework for Rosenxt. This includes a commitment to setting demanding environmental targets, an aim to be a best-in-class responsible business, and to excel in all we do.
Shaping a responsible tomorrow
Our corporate governance and compliance framework brings together the guiding principles of our operations. In line with the relevant internal and external laws and regulations, as well as our own values and culture, we work to integrate market-standard ESG principles into our business model and strategic objectives. This is to ensure that our management, leadership, and organizational structures are aligned accordingly.
Our priority is to provide a safe, diverse, inclusive and compliant workplace for our employees, business partners and other stakeholders. To achieve this, we have a Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) policy underpinned by compliance with the legislation wherever we work and with our values. Pushing boundaries with innovation introduces new risks, so ongoing hazard identification and the continuous improvement of our policies, processes and targets are at the heart of our strategy and operations.
At our company, we're committed to doing the right thing.
That's why we have a Code of Conduct that ensures we adhere to internationally recognized human rights and principles for all our company activities. We believe in a global outlook in leadership, management, and social-environmental initiatives to maximize benefits worldwide.
