CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility

The fundamental social purpose of our business is to help improve the lives of people with hearing loss and to fight the stigma related to hearing loss. For us, our social purpose and our business purpose go hand in hand to create shared value for society and the company alike.

Widex’ management is committed to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and strives to integrate economic, social and environmental concerns into business decisions. To do this, we acknowledge that we must listen to our stakeholders and respond to their needs and demands on an on-going basis.

As a company, we seek always to be in compliance with local laws and regulations wherever we operate, and strive to adhere to international principles of responsible business behaviour such as the UN Global Compact principles for responsible business conduct. We have identified five key areas that form the basis of our commitment to CSR.

This Code of Conduct defines the basic requirements placed on Widex suppliers of goods and services concerning their responsibilities towards their stakeholders and the environment.

Widex operates in a global and highly competitive market for hearing aids. The organisation is increasingly faced with demands and expectations in respect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). To address new market demands and opportunities, Widex has decided to work more strategically with CSR in order to systematise and structure existing efforts, and to explore new areas of CSR.
