02. ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY REPORT The I.A. Hedi
n Bil has many employees and several business areas in different geographical locations. It is therefore important that we have common and basic values about how the business should be conducted. Our approach is important for our business and gives us guidelines in the challenges we face at work. Our commitment is, without compromise, to act ethically in all situations. This is crucial for the success of our business as, thanks to our good ethics, we have gained the trust and confidence of customers, suppliers and financiers. We have set up guidelines and standards on how we look at the professional approach to help our employees solve ethical issues that may arise at work. This guide is described in our Code of Conduct and as part of this sustainability report. The Swedish operation of I.A. Hedin Bil has an overall Quality and Environmental Policy which, together with our quality and environmental management system, meets the requirements according to ISO 9001 & ISO 14001. Parts of the Norwegian operations within I.A. Hedin Bil works in accordance with the Norwegian environmental certification Miljøfyrtån. Guidelines, other policies and codes of conduct must be known by the staff and all documents are to be easily accessible. I.A. Hedin Bil does not manufacture the products the company is a retailer of. Manufacturing and development of, for example, vehicles takes place by the respective car manufacturer. However, since we are only dealers in vehicles, the possibility of influencing the situation is relatively small. There is a greater opportunity to influence the operation of our facilities and workshops. I.A. Hedin Bil continued to acquire and build new dealerships in 2020, and the goal is to implement all of them in our sustainability work. To ensure a long-term approach, we work actively to create the right conditions for systematic sustainability and to reduce our environmental impact. This sustainability report is therefore limited to the following companies within I.A. Hedin Bil. • Hedin Göteborg Bil AB • Hedin Helsingborg Bil AB • Hedin Stockholm Bil AB • Hedin Örebro Bil AB • Hedin Mölndal Bil AB • KC Motors AB • Hedin Performance Cars AB • Hedin Automotive AS • Bavaria Sverige Bil AB • Hedin Belgien Bil AB BOARD RESPONSIBILITY I.A.
