Through our efforts, we also contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. All goals are important, but we concentrate our work where we can make the greatest impact. Goals 3, 8, 9, 12, 13, and 14 are particularly important to us, as these represent areas where our operations have the most influence.
However, we can also make positive contributions to Goals 4, 11, and 17.
Safety and a secure working environment are essential for everyone at Westcon. We will continue to work systematically to further strengthen safety and create an even safer workplace for all our employees.
We will work towards sustainable production by focusing on our working methods, material use, and operational processes.
We will continue to develop our employees in the areas where we are already strong, while also building competence in areas where we see current and future needs. Westcon will invest in people, because it is the expertise of our employees that secures our licence to operate.
We plan to be here 100 years from now. This means we must continue to develop our company and our operations so that we can keep creating value for ourselves and for the communities we are part of.
