At Marthinsen & Duvholt, we aim to be an industry role model in all matters related to ethics, and we operate with a clear vision: Zero ethical breaches.
At Marthinsen & Duvholt, we are unequivocal:
We tolerate no form of corruption, bribery, embezzlement, anti‑competitive behaviour, discrimination, or harassment.
Ethics fundamentally means knowing what is right — and acting accordingly. But ethical questions are rarely simple. The world continues to change, and new dilemmas emerge. Ethics affects everyone in our organisation, from skilled workers to top management.
Skanska’s Code of Conduct for employees and suppliers supports our people and our partners in making the right decisions.
Our ethical guidelines are grounded in our values and guide our daily activities. They provide clear expectations for how we conduct ourselves when interacting with colleagues, customers, business partners, and the communities in which we operate.
We refer to these guidelines whenever we face an ethical dilemma. They also include information on who to contact when we have questions or concerns.
Everyone plays a vital role in ensuring that we remain an ethical, compliant, and value‑driven organisation. Our leaders have an additional responsibility: to foster a strong culture of compliance and integrity throughout the company.
If you'd like, I can integrate this into a full “Ethics & Compliance” page or align it with your broader corporate governance content.
All administrative and professional staff at Marthinsen & Duvholt participate in ethics training as part of the company’s commitment to responsibility and professionalism. The courses provide insight into ethical dilemmas and the importance of sound decision‑making — both in everyday situations and in complex project environments.
This is a key initiative to ensure a workplace culture built on integrity, respect, and trust, which in turn strengthens collaboration with customers, colleagues, and partners.
While our Ethical Guidelines provide direction, we will still encounter ethical dilemmas along the way. We actively promote an open culture in the workplace, where ethics are discussed openly and regularly, and where there is space for reflection on values.
We want all employees to feel comfortable raising ethical questions and dilemmas with their managers and others. Every employee must feel empowered to report any instances of non‑compliance with our Ethical Guidelines.
