This system is designed to safeguard workers from work-related injuries and illnesses by identifying and mitigating physical, mechanical, electrical and chemical hazards, and providing training and communication about safety objectives. Our MEHS system is implemented in all plants and covers every employee. Each plant has an EHS coordinator to ensure compliance and continuous improvement in occupational health and safety standards. The company\u2019s global Group EHS and regional EHS teams meet on a monthly basis. The regional Business Group and global Group EHS organization oversee EHS matters in the plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/www.autoneum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Autoneum-04953_korr.jpg\" "\\"Autoneum-04953_korr\\"")

By offering comprehensive and customized training and development opportunities, we promote the skills, knowledge and competencies of our employees, which ultimately supports their development and productivity and overall employability.<\/p>\n
Autoneum\u2019s global e-learning platform GoodHabitz offers 170 courses, videos and assessments in different languages. These courses cover a wide range of relevant areas, including health and safety, productivity, management, teamwork, inspirational leadership, presentation and communication skills. The platform supports self-organized learning and is available to all employees with an Autoneum e-mail address.<\/p>\n
Operators in our factories receive training in classroom sessions, as well as in training boxes in the plants where they learn about accident prevention and risk reduction through the application of safety measures, such as ergonomic lifting techniques, the use of personal protective equipment and incident reporting. The company also maintains a multi-skill program that offers operators an opportunity for personal development. In four levels, operators gradually become more familiar with the safety, quality and productivity standards of various workstations in their plant. Toward the end of the program, employees can operate these workstations at any time and train other operators to do so. The program increases flexibility, autonomy and performance. Additionally, frequent job rotations help employees develop a deeper understanding of the various workstations, processes and related risks, which also contributes to a significant reduction in work accidents.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A positive safety performance also strengthens our reputation as an employer, fostering trust among stakeholders, including potential employees, local governments and investors. Furthermore, effective health and safety measures have a positive financial impact by reducing costly accidents, improving efficiency, and minimizing downtime.

Autoneum believes diversity is a key advantage for a technology leader. Diverse teams with an open-minded culture tend to be more agile in their thought and work processes. They contribute to reducing bias and fostering innovative ideas that positively impact performance. This approach signals to both the talent market and other stakeholders that Autoneum upholds an inclusive culture and embraces new challenges and opportunities. Autoneum takes a zero-tolerance approach toward any type of harassment or discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, physical or mental limitations, political affiliation, or sexual orientation.

Employees are free to form, join, and run employee organizations or works councils, to join labor unions and to collectively bargain or seek representation in accordance with local laws. In the European Union (EU), worker participation takes place via the European Works Council (EWC). The EWC is a consultation body that represents the EU employees of a company.

Our initiatives include apprenticeship programs, employer branding on social media, and participation in job fairs. In line with our commitment to act as a responsible corporate citizen, each site is encouraged to implement at least one social engagement project annually that benefits the local community. Through these community engagement projects, we can enhance well-being in the regions where the companies of the Autoneum group are located. Projects are developed based on proposals submitted by sites or from ideas identified jointly with the local community and reflect a wide range of focus areas, from the environment to health and social welfare.<\/p>\n
Being present in 25 countries with over 70 production sites worldwide, good relations with local communities are of central importance to Autoneum.

Operators in our factories receive training in classroom sessions, as well as in training boxes in the plants where they learn about accident prevention and risk reduction through the application of safety measures, such as ergonomic lifting techniques, the use of personal protective equipment and incident reporting. The company also maintains a multi-skill program that offers operators an opportunity for personal development. In four levels, operators gradually become more familiar with the safety, quality and productivity standards of various workstations in their plant. Toward the end of the program, employees can operate these workstations at any time and train other operators to do so. The program increases flexibility, autonomy and performance. Additionally, frequent job rotations help employees develop a deeper understanding of the various workstations, processes and related risks, which also contributes to a significant reduction in work accidents.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Health and Safety<\/h2><\/div>
As a manufacturing company, employee health and safety are of critical importance to Autoneum. We are committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for employees, customers, suppliers, and visitors. Our approach in this area is defined by the Management Policy on Quality, Environment, Energy, Health & Safety<\/a> and the 20 Principles for Good Environment, Health and Safety Behavior<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
By ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements and internal policies, Autoneum aims to create a safe workplace that protects employees\u2019 health and enhances job satisfaction and retention. A positive safety performance also strengthens our reputation as an employer, fostering trust among stakeholders, including potential employees, local governments and investors. Furthermore, effective health and safety measures have a positive financial impact by reducing costly accidents, improving efficiency, and minimizing downtime. Autoneum\u2019s Environment, Health & Safety Management (MEHS) system integrates international and national laws and regulations and adheres to the requirements of ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety). This system is designed to safeguard workers from work-related injuries and illnesses by identifying and mitigating physical, mechanical, electrical and chemical hazards, and providing training and communication about safety objectives. Autoneum\u2019s MEHS system is implemented in all plants and covers every employee.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>Diversity and Inclusion<\/h2><\/div>
As a global company, Autoneum is proud to have a diverse workforce in terms of race, gender, culture, age, religion, socioeconomic background, and sexual orientation. Autoneum believes diversity is a key advantage for a technology leader. Diverse teams with an open-minded culture tend to be more agile in their thought and work processes. They contribute to reducing bias and fostering innovative ideas that positively impact performance. This approach signals to both the talent market and other stakeholders that Autoneum upholds an inclusive culture and embraces new challenges and opportunities. Autoneum takes a zero-tolerance approach toward any type of harassment or discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, physical or mental limitations, political affiliation, or sexual orientation. The key principles of anti-discrimination are described in the Code of Conduct<\/a>, which is signed by every new employee upon joining Autoneum.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Employee Participation<\/h2><\/div>
Autoneum recognizes freedom of association and collective bargaining as a fundamental human right. Employees are free to form, join, and run employee organizations or works councils, to join labor unions and to collectively bargain or seek representation in accordance with local laws. In the European Union (EU), worker participation takes place via the European Works Council (EWC). The EWC is a consultation body that represents the EU employees of a company. Employee delegates from EU countries are informed by company management about business developments and certain decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Supporting local communities<\/h2><\/div>
Autoneum values our role as a significant employer within local communities and we actively seek to promote diversity in our workforce by encouraging applications from women and young people. Our initiatives include apprenticeship programs, employer branding on social media, and participation in job fairs. In line with our commitment to act as a responsible corporate citizen, each site is encouraged to implement at least one social engagement project annually that benefits the local community. Through these community engagement projects, we can enhance well-being in the regions where the companies of the Autoneum group are located. Projects are developed based on proposals submitted by sites or from ideas identified jointly with the local community and reflect a wide range of focus areas, from the environment to health and social welfare.<\/p>\n
Being present in 25 countries with over 70 production sites worldwide, good relations with local communities are of central importance to Autoneum. Through a wide range of community projects, we build lasting relationships with local stakeholders and strive to make a positive impact.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
