2 viking Corporate soCial responsibility Preface the 2012 Csr report is the second one in our company’s history; it allows us to evaluate the targets we set in the previous report. our approach remains the same. viking develops corporate social responsibility (Csr) initiatives for the benefit of its stakeholders. We consider the Corporate social responsibility closely linked with viking’s mission: ”We protect and save human lives all over the world.” viking products are designed to save lives, but, as a company, we recognize that our Corporate social responsibility does not stop here. this Csr report will illustrate the steady progress of implementing our Csr policy so that our actions benefit society and the environment. We continuously evaluate our Csr initiatives and strive for improvement. as this report shows, we have made steady progress in the last twelve months and we have, in fact, reached a majority of the targets we set in the 2011 Csr statutory statement. in our second Csr report, we have therefore chosen to follow up on and continue activities and objectives within the areas of supply chain management, the environment and employeerelated initiatives. the 10 principles in the un global Compact serve as the basis of how we will continually build our Csr efforts now and in the coming years. We wish to further enhance viking Csr initiatives with this year’s report. this statutory statement concerning Corporate social responsibility at viking life-saving equipment a/s is a component of the management review in the 2012 financial statement and it covers the financial year 1st January-31st December 2012.
