Sustainability

Furthermore, our solutions for the special education classroom also help students with disabilities learn to read and write and provide them with a voice so that they are not excluded from the mainstream education system, whether in the classroom or at home.

Our special education software, Boardmaker, helps millions of students with learning challenges by drawing on our library of over 83,000 Picture Communication Symbols (PCS) for effective communication, inclusive learning, and customized education programs for students with disabilities.

Environmental responsibility is an important aspect of providing world-class products and services. We remain dedicated to incorporating environmental responsibility into our business strategy, operating in a manner that protects the environment, and continually improving our environmental management system and environmental performance.

To reduce our environmental impact, we optimize our inventory management to facilitate earlier shipping, allowing more devices to be transported by surface rather than air. We also maximize the life cycle of our devices by making them robust enough to cope with different types of environments, while consuming low energy and allowing for repair and replacement of components.  

Unlike many other electronic products found in households, our communication devices are essential for enabling users to communicate. Dynavox Group’s goal is to expand access to voice communication while minimizing negative impacts throughout the life cycle of our products. As part of our sustainable production, we comply with regulatory frameworks for manufacturing consumer electronics and only uses materials and components that are authorized under RoHS2 and REACH.

To reduce electronic waste and scrap, our production team repairs returned and faulty devices, which we then loan to our customers for trial before they make a commitment. Additionally, like all responsible companies, everyone in the organization shares the responsibility for minimizing our overall environmental impact, from reducing energy consumption to minimizing business travel.

At Dynavox Group, our empathy toward fellow human beings and our commitment to help people are reflected in everything we do. Our dedication to accountability and transparency forms the foundation for employee engagement and the trust from the outside world.

Dynavox Group strives to maintain a transparent business climate and high business ethics. For us, it’s obvious to value the safety and respect of everyone affected by our business. 

Our external whistleblowing channel serves as an early warning system to mitigate risks. It plays a crucial role in promoting high ethical standards and maintaining customer and public confidence in our organization. The service allows individuals to report serious risks of wrongdoing that impacts people, our organization, society, or the environment. Reports can include information about criminal offenses, irregularities, violations, or other actions that breach EU or national laws within a work-related context.

The Dynavox Group Code of Conduct defines our business ethics principles. It is based on the UN Global Compact, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, EU Market Abuse Regulation, the Nasdaq rule book, and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code.

The Code of Business Conduct is a framework that includes the Employer Policy, Anti-corruption Policy, Export Policy, Information Policy, Insider Trading Policy, Whistleblower Policy, Environmental Policy and Supplier Policy. 

The Dynavox Group Supplier Code of Conduct is based on the Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct, which is an industry standard for companies in the electronics industry, and includes human and labor rights, anti-corruption and the environment and climate. Both our own Code of Conduct and the Supplier Code of Conduct state that all employees should have freedom of association. All new employees complete training in the Code of Business Conduct.
