Responsibility
At Broman Group, responsibility work is part of how we develop our operations. Our key areas include product safety, employee well-being, energy efficiency, resource use and societal support. The Association for Finnish Work has granted Broman Group the Key Flag Symbol to represent a service founded in Finland that creates Finnish jobs. Broman Group employs over 2,000 people at the moment. Broman Group has received recognition for areas including entrepreneurship, employment, energy efficiency, sales and logistics development.
Responsibility is one of Broman Group’s core values. Our values are based on our most important relationships: our employees, customers, partners and the society and environment.
For us responsibility means:
- Product safety and a range of products used for maintenance, repair and active leisure
- Measures to reduce energy consumption and monitor the climate impacts of our operations
- Employment and employee well-being, together with the development of responsible practices in our value chain
- An active social role in supporting children, youth, sport, defence and culture
We continuously develop our work in these areas and report concrete actions and results where reliable data is available.
We collaborate with a number of partners and organisations in these areas, including:
Supporting a healthy lifestyle and people in need
Broman Group supports many different associations, projects and liaisons every year. We support selected organisations and initiatives related to physical activity, health, safety and people in vulnerable situations. We expect our partners to respect the same principles and values that guide our cooperation.
A successful career since the start
Broman Group employs more than 2,000 people and offers a wide range of roles in Finland, Sweden and Estonia. We monitor employee experience through a regular employee survey and use the results to develop our workplace.
We provide training, occupational health services and measures that support employee well-being and physical activity. Our goal is to provide a safe workplace, supported by occupational safety practices, risk assessments and regular monitoring.
The commerce sector is the first glance into professional life for many young people. We want to give a positive first impression of career life and all liabilities and rules of law it entails.
Safety and propriety are key
When planning our assortment, we consider factors such as product safety, regulatory compliance, functionality and available product information.
Product safety is a key consideration in our assortment management. We manage warranty cases and product recalls in accordance with applicable requirements and our internal procedures. We accept selected product categories for collection at the end of their useful life, including batteries and some spare parts.
We require responsibility from our partners
We develop our cooperation with stakeholders and partners through defined requirements, dialogue and follow-up. We want to be a dependable partner and we expect our partners to want the same.
Our operations are guided by applicable legislation, regulatory requirements and internal policies. We communicate relevant requirements to our partners as part of our cooperation. Our Supplier Standard defines minimum requirements for suppliers and supports the assessment and development of our supply chains.
A central focus on sustainability
We monitor energy consumption in our properties and implement measures to reduce electricity and heating use. Our properties use solutions including solar power and, in selected locations, ground-source heating and cooling. Broman Group produces over a million kilowatt-hours of solar energy a year, which corresponds to the yearly electricity consumption of 50 detached houses. Nearly 100% of the solar energy produced is used internally.
Reporting channel
Broman Group strives to maintain a transparent business climate and high business ethics. We value the safety and respect of everyone affected by our business.
Through our Reporting Channel suppliers and other stakeholders can confidentially report suspected misconduct, violations of laws, regulations or our Code of Conduct, including concerns related to our supply chain. Anonymous reporting is possible.
