2 viking’s social Responsibility Introduction viking’s annual csR report is an account of how the company works with csR and a description of the actions that have been taken to strengthen our efforts within this field even further. in the last twelve months, we have worked with the implementation of a more structured approach to csR. among other things, a number of selected employees have completed the ”csR master class”. With the renewed approach to csR, we have introduced an evaluation of the focus areas’ importance to the company’s stakeholders. this way, we set out to ensure that we work with csR in an efficient way. the principles of the un global compact will continue to form the basis of how we work with csR. our analyses have confirmed that the areas, which until now have been covered by the csR report, remain the most relevant ones. you will therefore only find minor adjustments in the csR strategy. We are presenting new topics in this year’s report which are closely related to viking’s core products and services. We would like to ensure a holistic approach so that our csR efforts will include conduct, business procedures as well as production. in the future, the fight against corruption and unethical conduct will be treated as a part of the topic ”value chain” since risks in this connection primarily affect the company’s production system and our efforts will as a result be concentrated here. this statutory report on corporate social responsibility at viking life-saving equipment a/s is a part of the executive summary in the 2013 financial statement and it covers the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2013.
