We take social responsibility

Rejlers sees its duty in a broad societal perspective. This is the consequence of increased involvement in central public sector projects in Infrastructure, Energy, Construction and property as well as major industrial projects. Like all serious players, the company emphasises the importance of offering genuine environmentally sound solutions and delivering documentation with a high level of quality.

Our watchwords - reliable, successful, personal and healthy - express our striving towards ethical behaviour and conduct in all situations. This applies internally towards our employees, and between employees as well as towards our clients, suppliers and everyone else we come into contact with.

Projects for reduced environmental burden

Rejlers' employees are involved in our sustainability work, which permeates processes in all customer areas.

In Construction and property projects, our engineers take the environment into consideration in many ways, for example by delivering energy efficient solutions and creating lighting environments that constitute good workplaces. Individuals and premises are protected by solid and thoroughly planned security solutions.

Investments in the Infrastructure area contribute to a sustainable society, since travel by underground systems and railways can give an improved atmospheric environment. Another example is high-speed trains, which can reduce the environmental burden caused by flying. In the Industry area, energy savings and pleasant environments are prioritised projects. Developments are towards healthy workplaces, which can be achieved by robotisation among other methods. And new projects in the Energy area practically always involve environmental improvements.

Everybody has equal value

Rejlers respects and supports fundamental rights and freedoms and we act within the scope of local and international laws and regulations. An example is the UN's Global Compact initiative, an initiative containing ten global principles concerning human rights, labour law, environmental issues and anticorruption. Rejlers' business is characterised by the view that everyone has, and must be guaranteed, the same value, regardless of ethnic or religious background. This is mirrored in our day-to-day operations and our recruitment. The aim is for everyone to feel safe in our environment. Having knowledgeable, committed and motivated employees is one of the key criteria for a company's success.

Rejlers invests actively in health and fitness. With the help of a healthcare contribution and a fitness manager at each office, there is continuous development of our fitness programme.

Comprehensive healthcare and insurance solutions for all employees help to prevent and treat ill health.

CSR project in South Africa

To us, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) means doing business responsibly. The objective of CSR is to take ethical and social responsibility for the company’s operations, and to encourage activities with a positive impact on the environment, employees and communities. We have a commitment to key projects for a sustainable society through our consultancy assignments. We take global responsibility through Star for Life, a school project in South Africa.

Star for Life – school project in South Africa

We look upon taking social responsibility from a global perspective as a matter of course. For three years, Rejlers has been involved in a school project whose primary objective is to work to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS at Qhakaza High School outside Empangeni in eastern South Africa. Rejlers has invested a total of SEK 600,000 in the school project. Some results of the programme are improved student health, a significant reduction in the number of teen pregnancies, enhanced youth employment, more university enrolments and better future prospects, especially for the girls. Rejlers employees have collected money in order to provide the poorest students at the school with school uniforms. We have also ensured that the school has a broadband connection.
