Vision is a Fair Union
Vision believes in a fair working life. Our efforts in favour of good work conditions does not stop at the workplace or even at the Swedish frontier. We take our global responsibility very seriously and make every effort to live up to this pledge. Which is why we are a Fair Union.
Being a Fair Union implies practising what we preach. Which can mean, for example, persuading your employer to buy Fairtrade coffee and tea for your workplace. The next step is to help the growers to achieve better conditions and better wages for their work. By making conscious choices in our everyday life we can reduce our own environmental impact in our workplace and at the same time contribute to a sustainable development. We can lobby municipalities and county councils to make ethical demands in their procurement of goods and ensure that our taxes are put to fair uses.
Sustainability in ethical and environmental issues is an integral part of what our union represents and does. As a union, Vision has chosen to buy from companies which have signed collective agreements and are pro-active in health and safety issues. We want to know that the goods we buy from them are produced under fair working and environmental conditions.
Vision is the first environmentally certified Swedish union. We are dedicated to continuing this aspect of our work and pledge ourselves to reducing our environmental and climatic impact as far as possible.
