Governance
Ensuring responsible business conduct
Columbus is committed to being socially and environmentally responsible and has been part of the UN Global Compact since 2012. Columbus complies with the requirements of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and The United Nations Convention against Corruption, as well as the laws of each country in which we operate.
Code of Conduct
With our Code of Conduct, we are able to ensure that we are committed to promoting ethical business practices on a global level. We believe that corruption and other unethical business behavior is incompatible with the operation of Columbus and healthy businesses in general.
Anti-corruption and anti-bribery
Columbus will not tolerate corruption, money laundering, fraud bribery or other illegal or unethical business activities. We have adopted an Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption policy which applies to all people employed by and associated with Columbus A/S.
Double Materiality Assessment
At the end of 2023, we initiated a Double Materiality Assessment to comply with the CSRD requirements, which will become effective for Columbus for the financial year 2024. This will help us prioritize our efforts and focus on the areas where we can make the most significant impact.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy
In Columbus, we respect the human rights of all employees, and all employees in Columbus have been carefully selected based on professional competencies without regard to religion, race, skin color, gender, age, disability or sexual or political orientation. We regard multiplicity as a strength, and we will not tolerate any kind of discrimination, harassment or bullying of employees. To support this, Columbus has adopted a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy, which is available at https://ir.columbusglobal.com/diversity-1
