GOVERNING DOCUMENTS

In the White Book, Stena’s CEO and principal owner, Dan Sten Olsson, has formulated the principles, convictions and fundamental values that apply to all the Group’s companies. It sets out success factors and describes the focus areas arising from the Group’s values.

The White Book establishes a shared set of guiding principles for the Group and guides operations across all business areas. A central starting point is care, which permeates the corporate culture and serves as a guide in decision-making and in relationships with customers, employees, and business partners. Based on these guiding principles, Stena strives to build long-term and responsible business relationships, where openness, clear communication, and accountability are key pillars.

The White Book

Stena’s Code of Conduct describes how Stena should act to uphold its values and commitments in areas such as the environment, social conditions, employees, human rights, and anti-corruption. It also outlines relationships with business partners and situations which Stena has the right to withdraw from a relationship if a partner does not meet the standard for responsible business conduct. The Code of Conduct is an integrated element of the employment contract and part of the onboarding process for new employees.
