Employee engagement

Health and safety

Our safety measures led to a decline in our number of accidents with absence, from 6 in 2022 to 3 in 2023.

Regular safety dialogues with workers councils or employees
This collaborative approach ensures that the perspectives of our employees are considered in the development and improvement of safety policies and procedures.
Monthly safety inspections across all production facilities
Identifies and addresses potential hazards, and encourages employees to report near misses, allowing us to implement corrective measure and improve safety protocols where needed.
Digitalization of near miss frequency reporting
Near misses are invaluable opportunities to identify potential hazards and prevent accidents before they occur.
Non-discrimination/inclusion

Embracing a multi-dimensional perspective, we acknowledge diversity in terms of physical, psychological, social, lifestyle, and cognitive dimensions, actively engaging with a number of employee focus groups to seek input on improving inclusion across ALK.

Value chain workers

ALK's Third-party Code of Conduct outlines the standards of behavior that we expect from all third parties globally when it comes to business conduct and treatment of employees. The Third-party Code of Conduct is an integrated part of our GxP (good practice) supplier agreements.

To address supplier risk, we utilize an external supplier evaluation platform to identify environment, labor & human rights, and procurement risks. 400+ suppliers approved for our GxP processes have been screened, none of which have been identified as high-risk.

Education of healthcare professionals

We engage systematically in educational activities, training and dialogue with healthcare professionals to elevate the standard of care in allergy diagnosis and treatment. Much of our engagement is done digitally enabling us to reach more healthcare professionals and reduce our climate impact.
