Sweden: Nikon Nordic AB
Compliance workshop
In May 2011, the entire staff from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland participated in a workshop held by Nikon Nordic AB in Finland. As one part of the workshop facilitators had a two-hour session regarding CSR activity. Various Code of Conduct (CoC) issues were also brought up. In general, all employees have a responsibility to follow Nikon's CoC, but sometimes we end up in "grey zones." Facilitators presented some difficult situations to the participants and asked them "how would you normally act," and "what's the best way to act." Some discussions took place in the full group and some in smaller groups. These discussions heightened participants' awareness of the issues.

Participating in the workshopThe workshop threw us various questions mixed with bits of humor. There was not necessarily a single correct answer to the questions, and so they led to some good discussion. This made the workshop very productive. I felt that the workshop was very meaningful because we all left with an understanding of how we could improve awareness in many ways, both as an individual and also as a member of a team.
