EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

Labour standards form a significant part of the Global Compact principles of social responsibility. Of course, Danish enterprises must always comply with legislation and rules stipulated in collective bargaining agreements.

However, as a part of corporate social responsibility it is becoming increasingly common that management also takes a proactive approach towards, and communicates its position on, important issues such as equal opportunity, workplace diversity and occupational health and safety. Typically, businesses use staff policies to record and signal their attitudes to these subjects.
