Social responsibility

Hosta Industries wants to help take responsibility for vulnerable groups in society being given an opportunity to become part of the Danish labour market. Therefore, we work with:

• The local job centres, where we offer work placements to people who want to test their skills in production or need special help to enter the labour market
• Collaborate with municipalities on various educational projects aimed at upgrading the skills of unemployed people for industry sector jobs
• Mentoring to ensure retention and labour market affiliation

Hosta Industries wants to be an attractive workplace and take responsibility for our employees’ professional development – both in relation to our own business and their individual value in the labour market. Therefore, we invest resources in the further development of our employees with regards to further education, training and internal training.

The work environment is an important focus area for us that we safeguard via, amongst other things, OHSAS 18001.

We have a social responsibility to ensure that skilled labour is available in our field in the future. We do this through education, skills development and collaboration with a number of educational institutions.

Hosta Industries continuously take on apprentices within the following areas; industrial technician, boilermaker and toolmaker, where we focus on apprentices being part of the workplace on the same terms as other employees. We have a responsibility to qualify our apprentices as much as is possible to ensure that they have the strongest possible position in the labour market. Therefore, we work with training plans and structured follow-up on learning goals, just as we ensure that the apprentices familiarise themselves with all areas of production, thus obtaining sound knowledge about the company’s value chain.

Our ISO 14001 certification demonstrates that we focus on protecting the environment in the way we do business. We focus on reusability and on using the most environmentally friendly methods – both in production and administration.

For Hosta Industries A/S, having a local presence is very important and we are pleased to be able to give back to the community. We are fully behind local associations and show our support where we can.
