Control and follow-up

Kinnevik works actively, through Board representation, to assist associate companies and subsidiaries in formulating a CR policy. The CR policy shall be observed through analysis and continuous operational improvements, taking into account social responsibility, ethics and the environment. The companies are also encouraged to publicly communicate the impact of their CR efforts. In the listed core holdings, the Board of each company shall elect one person who is responsible for the company’s CR issues and to whom an employee with responsibility for CR shall report.  

To integrate the CR work into the companies’ daily operations, each company must appoint an employee who will be responsible for CR. This person shall report his/her work to a member of the Board, who is responsible for driving the company’s CR issues. CR work shall also be an item at each Board meeting. 

Each company shall follow up its CR policy annually, and in the long-term, the companies are encouraged to file a separate sustainability report, which shall be reviewed and approved by external auditors.
