Responsibility as an employer

Adhering to international labor standards and fair working conditions is indispensable for the success of LEDVANCE as a global employer.
LEDVANCE takes responsibility as an employer, respects the human rights of all employees, and is explicitly against child labor, and unethical and unsocial business practices. LEDVANCE does not discriminate by ethnic origin, gender, religion, social background, disability, political views, or sexual orientation.
We respect the local applicable statutory requirements regarding payment in all countries in which LEDVANCE conducts business. Our employees have the right to freedom of organization and assembly throughout the world. In countries where employee representatives have been established it is very important for us to work together with them as closely and constructively as possible. We strive to offer our employees a safe and secure workplace with fair conditions. Provided that job losses are unavoidable due to technological changes and associated restructuring, LEDVANCE strives to make them as socially acceptable as possible.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY

A prerequisite for motivated employees is their health and safety. Thus, the purpose of the health and safety organization is to promote our employees’ health and ensure that the workplace and work processes are safe. It involves protecting the workforce from danger to life and health resulting from operational activities. These objectives are also defined in our EHS guidelines and are therefore mandatory for all locations of operation worldwide. The main objectives of the health and safety organization are as follows:

Health

 

  • Medical services
  • Health check days
  • Dietary advice
  • Fitness programs and sporting activities
  • Bright and friendly workplaces
  • Work-life balance

 

 

SAFETY

 

  • Safe workplaces, machines and facilities
  • Work processes that comply with or go beyond safety requirements
  • Personal protective equipment
  • Managers who promote safety at work
  • Employees working in line with safety guidelines

 

 

Health and Safety Management

Providing a safe working environment requires strict management. In order to continually monitor the degree of achievement of our objectives for health and safety, we implemented internally a management system according to ISO 45001.
