Transmode : AB's Sustainability Report 2014 has been published

Stockholm, Sweden - 21 May 2015

Transmode's Sustainability Report 2014 has been published today on the company's website. The Report provides an overview of our sustainability program and activities in 2014. We communicate our work on those aspects of sustainability that are relevant and material to our business and stakeholders.

Highlights of the Year

• In 2014, Transmode conducted its first systematic sustainability-oriented dialogue with stakeholders to guide our sustainability work going forward. The outcome from our stakeholder dialogue provided valuable input for our Materiality Analysis, which identified three focus areas - business ethics, environmental footprint and working conditions.
• Our work to ensure a high standard of business ethics continued in 2014, and we implemented an internal business risk evaluation process to monitor business risks.
• All employees signed the Code of Conduct, and took web-based training, in the year. Implementation of our Partner Code of Conduct Policy commenced and some 75% of our partners had signed the Code by year-end. We also sustained our efforts to have all critical suppliers sign up to our Supplier Code of Conduct.
• Transmode's most important contribution to a sustainable society is its energy-efficient products. Transmode launched a new generation of compact and energy-efficient 100G products in 2014.
• In 2014, our total CO₂ emissions decreased by 27% on 2013.

"The overall target for Transmode is to grow profitably and contribute to a sustainable society, as we strive to increase network capacity in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. In 2014, many of our customers sharpened their focus on monitoring how we handle corporate social responsibility. We welcome this interest, and are now even more convinced of the long-term importance of an effective sustainability strategy," says Karl Thedéen, Transmode's CEO.

The Sustainability Report is based on the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines GRI G3.1 Level C and describes actions taken and achievements concerning employees, environmental responsibility, customers, suppliers and products.
