The wellbeing of our staff is, and always will be, part of the way we do business. We constantly strive to maintain a zero-accident culture by engaging employees in workplace improvements, conducting risk-based assessments of tasks, and providing ongoing safety training.

We commit to providing the right hygiene tools and expertise to help our customers set high standards for public health and safety, whether they work in food production, public transport, hospitality, or other hygiene-sensitive environments.

We ensure a respectful and inclusive work environment and do not tolerate any form of harassment, discrimination, or bullying. We are committed to engaging employees with special needs, and our workforce is diverse, represented by both women (59%) and men (41%) of different ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, and nationalities. We currently employ people from 19 countries.

Good corporate governance is essential for sustainable businesses. It fosters transparency and accountability, allowing stakeholders to trust the company's commitment to long-term environmental and social responsibility.

Responsible supply chain management plays an important role in our sustainability goals. Our supplier code of conduct ensures that suppliers meet ethical and sustainability requirements. Through membership in Sedex and our compliance with SMETA and ILO requirements on ethical training, Vikan's supply chain is consistently audited to ensure best practices.

90% of Vikan shares are owned by the Vissing Foundation, a non-profit charitable family foundation that primarily invests in medical research, sustainable energy, and marginalised young people and children. Our unique ownership structure has a key influence on our company values and our way of doing business—we always aim to do the right thing with the future in mind.
