Social
Safe work. Shared growth.
We protect our people’s health and safety, develop their skills and build an inclusive workplace – and expect the same across our value chain.
More than 2,300 employees make SULO Group’s performance possible. Our social commitments follow the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the standards of the International Labour Organization.
Health & safety
Safety is non-negotiable.
Safety is steered by the Global Executive Committee through our Environmental, Health & Safety Committee. A new Group Health and Safety Policy followed in July 2025, and every employee applies “Stop Think Act” at all times.
In September 2025 we launched Beyond Safety, a leadership programme that moves us from compliance to a culture where every leader shapes safe behaviour. It was presented to all employees during ESG and Health & Safety Days in all SULO Group entities.
“On a daily basis, I act to promote the safest ways and behaviours on the field.”

Safety Day
Every site. Every employee.
For more than ten years, every SULO Group site has held an annual Safety Day – first as the HSE Day, today as the Safety Day. Taking part is mandatory for every employee: teams talk openly about safety, share good practices and raise awareness of the risks in their daily work – at all levels, in all countries.
Skills & engagement
Engaged people. Growing skills.
1,989 employees took part in our latest engagement survey. They describe a workplace built on trust, autonomy and collaboration – with a commitment score of 7.2/10 and 8.3/10 for safety.
Local induction, annual development plans and digital learning platforms support every career. Our European Works Council, founded in 2023, gives employees a voice at Group level.
