Health, safety and environment
A KKE company shall strive to provide a safe, healthy, clean and ergonomic working environment for its people.

A KKE company, in the process of production and sale of its products and services, shall strive for economic, social and environmental sustainability.
Quality of products and services
A KKE company shall be committed to supply goods and services of world class quality standards, backed by after-sales services consistent with the requirements of its customers, while striving for their total satisfaction. The quality standards of the company’s goods and services shall meet applicable national and international standards.
A KKE company shall display adequate health and safety labels, caveats and other necessary information on its product packaging.
Corporate citizenship
A KKE company shall be committed to good corporate citizenship, not only in the compliance of all relevant laws and regulations but also by actively assisting in the improvement of quality of life of the people in the communities in which it operates. The company shall encourage volunteering by its employees and collaboration with community groups.
KKE companies are also encouraged to develop systematic processes and conduct management reviews, as stated in the KKE ‘corporate sustainability protocol’, from time to time so as to set strategic direction for social development activity.
The company shall not treat these activities as optional, but should strive to incorporate them as an integral part of its business plan.
