Bording Group has existed since 1792, where Mathias Seest opened his small one-man printing house in the heart of Copenhagen. Today, we are one international Group with a strong market position in Scandinavia, with over 400 employees, and yearly revenues of about 650 mil. dkk.
The principles are based on internationally recognised conventions on human rights, worker’s rights, the environment and anti-corruption – and by following these principles, the Bording Group assumes its social responsibility both on a local and national level in the markets where we operate.
We became a member in 2009, and since then we have presented annual reports on our work with CSR in our progress reports, Communication on Progress, which you can find in the box to the right. This report is published each year at the same time as our annual report.
CSR on two continents
Corporate social responsibility covers all of the activities that a company voluntarily engages in and which go beyond legal or other regulatory requirements.
As the Bording Group has companies operating in both Scandinavia and Bangladesh, the economic, cultural and market conditions are very different in the areas in which we operate – and this has resulted in our companies focusing on different areas of CSR depending on where they are based.
We focus on people and the environment
While the companies in Scandinavia mainly focus on the environment, the company in Bangladesh focuses on human rights, working conditions and anti-corruption.
As part of our work promoting children’s rights, for example, Bording Vista has prepared educational materials for schools in Bangladesh. The materials are freely available to all, and you can also benefit from taking a look by clicking on he titles in the box to the right.
The Bording Group companies are getting involved
In the Bording Group, every company can choose which activities they want to get involved in – as long as they comply with the Global Compact and our Code of Conduct.
We prioritise credibility over revenue
Our goal is to be guided by the highest ethical standards. We value transparency, credibility and honesty over short-term profits, and we expect the same from our suppliers and partners.
Therefore, Bording Group has prepared ethical guidelines and a Code of Conduct for our management, employees, customers, suppliers and other partners that concern our behaviour and values in the Bording Group.
Code of Conduct
The Bording Group Code of Conduct ensures that all the parties that are involved in our operations are on the same page. We comply with our ethical guidelines and we also expect our suppliers and business partners to do so.
Our ethical guidelines are based on people, the environment and anti-corruption. We have zero tolerance for child labour or the suppression of minorities, we believe in freedom of speech and freedom of association and we do not work with companies that do not recognise the right to collective bargaining.
We have committed ourselves to developing environmentally friendly products in order to reduce our environmental footprint, and as far as possible, we work with suppliers who have the relevant certifications. The Bording Group will under no circumstances accept blackmail or bribery, and we are active in the fight against corruption whenever we encounter it. This applies both to our companies in Scandinavia as well as our company in Bangladesh.
If an employee or other stakeholder experiences behaviour that is incompatible with the Bording Group’s ethical guidelines, we would like to strongly encourage them to contact us via info@bordinggroup.com

As an old printing company, Bording has worked with environmental policy and sustainability early on.
