General Expectations

We can only perform at our best for extended periods if we feel safe and included. This is an imperative for Autoliv, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because it sustains our commercial ambitions.

Child Labor & Forced and Compulsory Labor

We have zero tolerance for any form of child or forced labor in any part of our supply chain. No supplier should have employees, contractors, or sub-suppliers younger than the age of 15, and all must be freely employed. Forced and compulsory labor covers any form of modern slavery, including debt bondage, prison labor, personal documents withheld by the employer, and human trafficking.

If a supplier becomes aware of a child or forced labor incident (or material allegations of such) within its own operations or those of a supplier, this information must be reported to Autoliv immediately.

Fair Working Conditions

All suppliers must ensure that working conditions for all employees comply with all relevant laws and regulations. This includes working hours and overtime, employment contracts, wages, and benefits.

Freedom of Association

All suppliers must respect the rights of their employees to form unions or other forms of employee associations recognized by local laws. Employees should be encouraged and provided opportunities to speak about their working conditions with management in a safe environment.

Health & Safety

In both the marketplace and the workplace, health & safety is more than an element of our business – it is our business. Safety at work includes mental wellbeing as well as physical safety, and we fully expect that all suppliers have health & safety as a critical priority with a goal of zero accidents. Responsibility for health & safety starts with senior management. Health & safety risks and hazards must be identified and appropriately mitigated, which should be evidenced through appropriate systems, controls, training, and performance monitoring. Autoliv encourages all suppliers to adhere to ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System).

Non-Harassment & Non-Discrimination

Autoliv does not allow any form of harassment or discrimination in the workplace, and this must also be the case for all suppliers. This includes any form of discrimination based on gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, political opinion, union affiliation, social background, or other characteristics protected by applicable legislation.
