The United Nations Charter gives every nation the right to protect itself and its citizens. This right applies regardless of whether the nation has its own defence industry. Saab’s vision is based on an effort to keep society and those of us who live here safe. By improving and upgrading technological systems and solutions, we increase security in society and for its citizens, including those whose job it is to maintain security. We also provide insight into how threats against security change and develop innovative solutions to keep society safe.
Saab’s vision and core values – expertise, trust and ambition – are the guiding principles in our operations and how we take responsibility. They are fundamental to our existence.
Saab’s values are:
EXPERTISE – We combine a strong history of knowledge with continuous learning.
TRUST – We are honest and reliable citizens of the world and we keep our promises.
AMBITION – We have a passion for innovation, we are open to change and are committed to being fast and flexible.
Success demands responsibility
To be as successful as possible – and help to make people feel safe – we have identified four areas that are, and must be, integral to our business operations:
- Business ethics – There should be no question that we act ethically in our business operations.
- Society – Our operations will contribute to society as a whole as well as specifically to the local communities where we operate.
- Employees – We will take responsibility for our employees and their opportunities to develop and thrive in our organisation.
- Environmental – We will minimise the environmental impact of our operations and contribute to ecological sustainability.
We are convinced that earning trust in our company and operations is largely based on acting responsibly in these areas. Without this trust, it is hard for us to continue to develop cutting-edge technology at the rate we do today. This in turn requires continuous dialogue, positive relationships with our stakeholders and responsible decisions.
