ORKLA HOUSE CARE UPDATES AND REINFORCES ITS SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT   In today’s fast paced world, it is easy to jump on the ‘sustainability’ bandwagon, fall into the trap of greenwashing and only focus on short-term targets and commitments as a company. At Orkla House Care we are determined to bring long-term sustainable value to our stakeholders, by ensuring Responsible Business Conduct. We are delighted to share with you our updated sustainability commitment, documented due diligence, and our brand-new grievance mechanism, enabling access to remedy and informed stakeholder engagement. ✅ Sustainability Policy Commitment ✅ Due Diligence ✅ Grievance Mechanism Øyvind Nesbø Sustainability Manager, Orkla House Care “We have taken the opportunity to really go back to basics and complete a review of all our activities in relation to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) topics. We have worked with people across the whole of Orkla House Care, and with the support of GLOBAL CSR we have utilised their new platform SEE impacts. This has enabled us to produce operational level impact assessments, fully aligned with the requirements from the UN Guiding Principles and the OECD framework. It provides us with a very good overview and way of managing our impacts as a business.   It is a perfect platform to continue our sustainability journey, and I am very proud to say we are sharing our assessments publicly on our website for inspiration and reference to all our stakeholders.” Sune Skadegaard Thorsen, CEO, GLOBAL CSR   “Orkla House Care is developing best, yet pragmatic, practice and demonstrates leadership, foresight and timely action by taking ownership to sustainability due diligence.” GLOBAL CSR https://globalcsr.net/ SEE impacts https://lnkd.in/exanN7Sg Orkla House Care https://lnkd.in/eJEcieN7

𝗢𝗿𝗸𝗹𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 & 𝗞𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗨𝗸𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴🏡 In the face of adversity, together with Kolorit we are proud to stand with Ukrainian families affected by conflict. As a small part in the aid of rebuilding homes devastated by war, we have provided a donation of 8,000 painting tools, worth 40,000 euros for the reconstruction of homes in the war-torn regions of Ukraine. Our Ukrainian exclusive distributor 𝙁𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙖 𝙆𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩 has partnered with the volunteer battalion 𝘿𝙊𝘽𝙍𝙊𝘽𝘼𝙏 to contribute to the restoration of damaged homes in Ukraine. At Orkla House Care, we believe in making a positive impact beyond delivering top-notch products. This initiative reflects our values of compassion and empathy, ensuring that everyone deserves a safe and welcoming home. This initiative would not have been possible without the collaboration of Kolorit and the dedication of everyone involved. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who contributed!
