Description

  • As we wanted to provide stakeholder with the progress made in following the ten principles in the most relevant way, we decided to include the COP in the 2008 Reference Document of the Group (20F in the USA).

    Please revert to chapter 6 (sustainable developement) of the document to see the COP - which is based on the 3 mandatory elements described on the checklist above.

    Please also note that the reference document will soon be available in english in the corporate website.
