Living by our compass

Our company is built upon good governance and sound business conduct – not only are these principles the foundation of our ESG work, they are fundamental to the overall operations of the business. In 2025, we advanced our commitment to integrity by refreshing the Code of Ethics & Conduct and streamlining our global policy framework. This initiative reflects our heritage and Growth Culture principles while ensuring clarity and accessibility for all employees.

Human Rights

At Carlsberg Group, respect for people is an essential part of how we do business. As a signatory of the UN Global Compact, we are committed to its 10 principles, which include human rights, and we are also committed to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and conduct continuous due diligence against its criteria.

Responsible sourcing

Around the world, we collaborate with tens of thousands of suppliers. These business partners provide ingredients, packaging and logistics for our products, as well as other goods and services that keep our operations running. We seek suppliers who share our values and responsible approach to business. To work with us, they must meet the standards set out in our Supplier and Licensee Code of Conduct and accompanying technical standards, and commit to extending these standards to their own suppliers.
