Why Johnsen is a member of Global Compact

As a member of the UN Global Compact, Johnsen supports the world's largest targeted initiative where business supports human rights, labor rights, environmental protection and anti-corruption.

A big mouthful, yes.

But on the one hand, we should all - citizens, politicians and businesses - fight to ensure that everyone has the best opportunities to thrive and develop. On the other hand, we should take care of the climate and the planet. Both for our own sake and for the sake of all future generations.

And when we join forces with tens of thousands of other companies around the world, it makes the big picture a little easier to grasp. Even if the challenges are still there for all to see.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals

At Johnsen, we have chosen to focus on these selected UN Sustainable Development Goals:

Health and well-being

Health and well-being

We prioritize the health and well-being of our employees. That's why everyone has access to health insurance. We have also invested in first aid training and installed a defibrillator at our head office in Grenaa.

Clean water and sanitation

Clean water and sanitation

We work purposefully and persistently to streamline our water consumption - and minimize waste. Through investments in environmentally friendly production equipment, we have significantly reduced water consumption in print production.

Decent jobs and growth

Decent jobs and growth

We will gradually and continuously strengthen sustainable economic growth; ensure a proper working environment, high well-being and economic security for our employees; and support the local community.

Responsible consumption and production

Responsible consumption and production

At Johnsen, we monitor resource consumption systematically to minimize waste as much as possible. We achieve this, for example, through recurring annual audits from external bodies; so we maintain a constant optimization of processes and resource consumption.

Climate report

Climate action

We advise customers on progressively more climate-friendly solutions - from material selection to packaging and distribution - as we have extensive experience in the field and are constantly updated on new opportunities. Our entire production facility runs on 100% renewable electricity from Danish offshore wind turbines. This is a key focal point in our long-term strategy to maintain CO2-neutral production.

Serious companies act responsibly

Together with the other members of the UN Global Compact, we are fighting a common fight and aiming for the same goals - using a set of guiding, universal principles that all members and member states agree on. Including the UN Global Goals.

Our position is clear:

In today's Denmark - and in the global community - we as a company must contribute to concrete, measurable and positive change. While at the same time running a good, healthy business. And good business sense requires good, responsible business operations.
