For
Axis, environment issues are always important in the development of new
products and the improvement of existing ones, as well as in connection with
deliveries and business trips undertaken by staff.Introduction to Axis Sustainability
Since Axis was founded over twenty years ago, questions pertaining to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) have been a natural part of the company’s activities within corporate governance, social responsibility (human rights, labor law and commercial behavior), environmental and financial questions. The two founders, Martin Gren and Mikael Karlsson, wanted to establish a healthy company where the employees would feel happy to work, a thought that is also part of the company’s operations today.

Behavior code
Axis puts big weight at that the employee performs correctly in all business related situations. Carried out behavior code (Code of Conduct) is a matter of course. It emphasizes those fundamental principles according to what Axis carries out your activity and handles the relationships to its employee, business partners and other stakeholders. All employee is expected support, contribute to and to maintain carried out values, integrity and responsibilities. Axis encourages your suppliers, distributors, system integrators, consultants and other business partners to follow these principles.

- UN: s general explanation about the humane rights.
- UN: s initiatives Global Compact that was introduced for years 2000 of then in force Secretary-General Kofi other in order to promote a social and environment deliberately responsible at internationally active companies.
- ILO-deklarationen about fundamental principles and rights on the work. These are taken into consideration when decisions will be lacking within all areas, from research and development to marketing.

The suppliers are checked through a structure row process so that they meet the requirements that Axis sets on your suppliers. The company has during several years' time worked with contracts that contain work environmental requirements and financial and ethical requirements. Also workplace visit has been included in evaluation of carried out suppliers. Axis has suppliers in Europe, North America and Asia. Axis sets requirements on that the contract producers are ISO 9000 - and ISO 14000-certifierade.
Axis products
Axis develops and supplies products within network video that are used in security installations. The products are installed in order to monitor an identified area or to enhance and streamline processes, for example in retailing. Surveillance products have become the subject of discussion in privacy debates, among others.
Axis has a responsibility to ensure that the companies developing software for our products and installing them are serious. This is achieved through very close collaboration with our partners. Axis advises its partners about displays for example in connection with installation of a surveillance camera (a label accompanies each product).
Axis has on particular occasions worked actively in order to ensure a secure environment for the citizens. One initiative that the company participated in, involved collaboration with the American retail chain Target. The project means that Axis will provide network cameras in an area, where there is a great need for surveillance in order for citizens to feel safe. The goal is to reduce vandalism and damage as well as to increase security in the area.
