Safety and well-being of our employees

The safety and well-being of our workers are of high priority, and we strive to maintain a high

safety standard and create a comfortable and inspiring workplace.

The people in our operations are highly valued as they put the last hand to the furniture in our

production. At the same time, our quality department ensures high-quality and long-lasting

models based on their craftsmanship and know-how. Same with our office employees who do

their utmost to ensure sustainable growth within the company while ensuring smooth processes

internally and towards customers.

Working at a table disk or when manufacturing a product, the different working positions can

be challenging on the body, making ergonomic workstations a top priority. Therefore, we have

chosen to implement various personal protective equipment. E.g., our newly built workstation

for the Ox and Queen chair ensures the most optimal work position when upholstering. Also,

when using hazardous raw materials, the workstations comply with legal requirements.

Massages during working hours are offered at the facility in Fredericia to avoid long-term injuries,

and training exercises are encouraged in our operations. All employees are provided health

insurance and other health and safety initiatives, including free fruit in the facilities.

Zero work-related injuries were registered in 2020, whereas three were reported in 2021.

Different initiatives have been or will be implemented to reduce workplace injuries.

At Fredericia Furniture, we do not tolerate violence, threats, racist utterances, bullying, harassment,

or sexual harassment, neither during nor outside working hours. The professional tone among

colleagues must be proper and respectful. We want everyone to feel safe when going to work.

In the event of bullying, harassment, or similar behaviour in the workplace, we are all obliged to

act and help stop the unwanted behaviour as soon as possible.

In 2021 Fredericia Furniture established a whistleblower scheme by EU Directive 2019/1937, a

solution for anonymous reporting of potentially unethical behaviour in our operations.
