Sustainability
COVID adaptations As we saw COVID-19 spread across Europe and the rest of the world, we took the decision to temporarily suspend activities at our factories in the most critical areas when necessary. The health of our employees and their families as well as our manufacturing partners and ultimately our communities is our first priority. A special task force was set-up to ensure factories could reopen safely. We are very proud that we applied these stringent safety standards, that our employees followed them closely, and that they worked on multiple occasions throughout the crisis. Example of measures taken: Information posters: information about the virus was posted throughout factories and offices to ensure employees were aware of the measures to prevent any spread of the disease. Temperature checks: All colleagues were checked upon arrival and departure from work. Cleaning and sanitisation: Factories were disinfected once a day by specialised companies, production lines were cleaned every two hours and during shift changes. Special attention was given to shared devices and furniture. Personal protective equipment: all workers had to wear PPE (gloves, masks and
glasses) at all times at work. Best practices were shared on wearing and removing PPE. Specific bins were provided for biological waste. Travelling to work: Schréder implemented transport for workers without cars to and from factories, to avoid the risks associated with public transport.
