Human rights
We adhere to the UN Declaration of Human
Rights, including equal rights regardless
of gender, religion, or political views, as a
core aspect of our commitment to social
responsibility. This commitment is reflected
internally in the AVK Group Code of Conduct for
employees.
Work accidents
To reach our 2030 target of reducing the Lost
Time Accident Frequency Rate (LTAFR) to below
3.0, we have established several milestone
targets.
The number of reported work-related accidents
resulting in absence increased from 47 in
2023/2024 to 75 in 2024/2025 (an increase of
approximately 60%). This rise can be explained
by several factors. A significant part of the
increase is due to a strengthened reporting
culture and greater attention to workplace
safety, which has led to more consistent
recording and reporting of incidents across the
organisation.

The goal for 2024/25 was to reduce the LTAFR
to below 5.0. However, by the end of the
reporting year, the rate had increased to 7.09
accidents per one million working hours. It is
important to note that the accidents recorded
in 2024/25 were all classified as minor and did
not result in long-term absence.

Description (2024/25 figures)
At the same time, data indicates that certain
tasks continue to carry a higher level of risk
– particularly those related to hand and finger
injuries and ergonomic strains – where existing
preventive measures have not yet fully reduced
exposure to risk. Therefore, these areas will
continue to have high priority in our ongoing
health and safety efforts.
We remain committed to our overall objective of
reducing the number of work-related accidents
and continue to strengthen preventive measures
and safety awareness throughout the AVK
Group.
Health and Safety management
(ISO 45001)
ISO 45001 plays a key role in strengthening our
Health & Safety (H&S) structure and ensuring
continuous improvement.
The numbers of companies achieving the
ISO 450001 certification has increased. To
date, 39 of our companies have achieved this
international certification, demonstrating our
commitment to systematic management of
workplace health and safety. This is an increase
from 33 last year.
We are actively working to increase the number
of certified companies within the AVK Group
to ensure a consistent approach to health and
safety across all business units. This effort
