our role in society

Addtech’s companies have strong local roots and their operations are often based in small towns. When making acquisi­tions, we therefore seek to remain in those locations, nurturing and developing the skills that ex­ist there. Our aim is to contribute to strength­ening the community in which we operate by pursuing an invigorating and long-term policy in our business activities. We endeavour to recruit new employees locally and to of­fer jobs to young people. We want to cre­ate the right conditions for local growth by means of active and constructive dialogue with the local community.

Taxes

We play our part in and contribute to our collective prosperity via employer’s social welfare contributions and taxes. Compliance with local tax laws and regulations must be observed in all our countries of operation. 

Targets for social value added
