Our business practices are rooted in our core values and our management systems for Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) and Quality, based on ISO standards 9001, 14001, and 45001. Our customers should feel confident in choosing TESS as their supplier.

Responsible business conduct is about managing risks of negative impact on people, society, and the environment. Risk factors are well known to everyone in leadership roles at TESS.

Due Diligence Assesments

The Transparency Act is anchored in the leadership teams of all TESS companies. Systems for reporting concerns and unethical behavior have been established and communicated throughout the organization. Compliance with the Transparency Act is evaluated at least annually through our HSE and quality management system and our due diligence assessments.

Due diligence assessments are an integrated part of our business operations, with clear expectations from senior management and clearly assigned responsibilities within the organization to ensure implementation and compliance.

 

Ethics TESS's conduct towards the external environment, customers, suppliers, and employees is described in our ethical guidelines. Together with our suppliers, TESS strives to ensure that products are manufactured under good ethical conditions. All suppliers to TESS are mapped and approved according to high standards and ethical guidelines.
