3. Policies and procedures

a. Own operations

AutoIn has initial routines to identify negative impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in our workplaces. The board has focused on working environment, equality, and discrimination. Wage levels at AutoIn are based on role level and job descriptions and are not influenced by gender, worldview, and similar factors. No discrimination has been identified in the board’s initial assessments. AutoIn has established a whistleblowing routine for all employees and encourages employees to report cases that have negative impacts regarding decent working conditions. AutoIn is now working on establishing concrete processes and procedures regarding decent working conditions. The following areas have been identified and will be prioritized in our internal work -

• A new review and mapping of employees’ special needs and workplace facilitation
• Review of today’s production facilities and further investments and improvements
• Purchase of better and more modern products that are more user-friendly
• A new review of the internal whistleblowing routine

b. Supply chain and partners

AutoIn is a company whose operations include car painting and body repair. AutoIn’s largest purchases are spare parts for passenger cars and paint products. AutoIn has carried out an initial risk assessment of the supply chains regarding human rights and decent working conditions. This currently covers suppliers included in the company’s value chain that deliver products and/or services to production. Suppliers are sorted by total purchasing volume and the work started with the largest suppliers. AutoIn’s influence as a buyer is also part of the assessments. The following areas have been identified and will be prioritized in our work with risk assessment of supply chains -

• Review and improvement of purchasing routines with more focus on supplier risk assessment
• Gather information from suppliers via surveys where initial assessments indicate high risk or uncertainty regarding breaches of human rights. The surveys will be adapted to each supplier
• Improvement of ongoing supplier follow-up

4. Measures

AutoIn plans to implement measures to be able to stop actual negative impacts and limit significant risk of negative impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions. These measures will be adapted to the areas described in section 3 a. and b.

The due diligence work is a continuous process, and AutoIn will continue working on this both in the supply chains and in its own operations.
