Our actions reflect who we are. As a market-leading company, we have a responsibility to always act responsibly and ethically. Everyone working at Catena represents the company and contributes to how we are perceived. Our starting point is our core values and code of conduct.
Responsible corporate governance is the foundation for building trust. In our operations, we strive for everything we do to be characterized by thoughtfulness and responsible decisions, always justifiable from both an economic and ethical perspective. We do not tolerate any form of corruption and set high standards for ethics, morality, and integrity.
To make it easier for anyone who wishes to report misconduct that violates applicable laws, ethics, morality, or Catena's policies, we have established a whistleblowing service.
There is a strong drive within Catena to advance the development of a more sustainable logistics network and to take long-term responsibility for the environment and society. The foundation of Catena's business idea is to sustainably and collaboratively develop and manage efficient logistics facilities for the long term.
We have clearly stated growth ambitions. At the same time, we are fully aware that we operate in an industry with significant impact on society and the environment. In 2021, we tightened our sustainability goals to play an even greater role in the ongoing transition. Achieving these goals involves extensive efforts, and in some areas, we are not yet entirely sure of the methods we will use. However, we choose not to let that deter our ambitions — instead, it is an important part of our forward-looking process.
Being completely transparent about our efforts and results in the sustainability area is a given for us and an integral part of our responsibility.
Catena strives to be an attractive employer for both new and existing dedicated and skilled employees. To continue evolving as a workplace, we continuously measure how we are perceived as an employer.
For us, it is clear that all people have equal value and rights - regardless of age, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. We aim for diversity and gender balance, viewing this as essential for maintaining efficiency and professionalism over time, as well as for remaining attractive as an employer. While there is more work to be done, we have, for example, achieved 57% female representation in our senior management team.
Catena actively works on training and skills development for our employees. The goal is to create a work environment where our employees feel they are growing in their roles and to ensure that we, as a company, continue to develop.
