The Board of Directors has the overarching responsibility for overseeing the Atlas Copco Group’s strategic direction, including financial and non-financial strategies and targets to ensure a sustainable, profitable growth. The Group’s performance in relation to the targets is reported quarterly to the Board by the President and CEO. The Board is the owner of the Group’s Code of Conduct which regulates how employees, and the Board itself, should act towards each other and in relation to other stakeholders. The Board is also, together with Group Management, responsible for the preparation, review, and approval of the sustainability report, including the material sustainability topics.

Each member of Group Management is responsible for the implementation and follow-up of strategy and targets although the President and CEO has the ultimate responsibility. Progress in relation to the targets is part of the variable compensation for members of Group Management as well as for other employees. The Vice President Sustainability is responsible for coordinating the Group’s sustainability work and reports to the SVP Chief Communications Officer, who is a member of Group Management.

Following Atlas Copco Group’s decentralized organizational structure, implementation is handled mainly by the divisions, which are separate operational units, and responsible for delivering results in line with the business area’s strategies and targets. The business areas and divisions set quantified targets for delivering on the Group targets. The divisional presidents and general managers are responsible for ensuring that targets are set as a part of their three-year plans, and that progress is followed-up and reported to the Group.

Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality (SHEQ) managers support the sustainability work in the operational entities and divisions while Sustainability Managers coordinate the efforts at business area level.

At Group level, a sustainability team provides coordination and support to the entire organization, working closely with each business area’s SHEQ and sustainability representative. The Group’s SHEQ Council is chaired by a division president and consists of the business area SHEQ managers and sustainability representatives, the Vice President Sustainability, and representatives for HR, Holding, and controlling. The SHEQ Council comes together quarterly to discuss actions, policies, and guidelines to support the organization in reaching set ambitions.
