Ethical business practices

Ethical business practices at Sit are based on participation, democracy, human rights and decent working conditions.

We strive to be a responsible community stakeholder and a trusted partner. To achieve this, we set clear expectations for how we operate – both within the value chains in which we participate and the solutions, products and services we procure.

Making ethical choices with the students in mind

Produkter, tjenester og løsninger vi kjøper inn skal bidra til god livskvalitet for studentene. De skal styrke fellesskapet, fremme sosial tilknytning og bidra til inkludering.

Vi legger vekt på å styrke lokalsamfunnet rundt oss, og vi sørger for demokratiske prosesser gjennom involvering i våre innkjøpsprosesser.
