Corporate Social Responsibility

As a responsible Danish workplace, we are inspired by the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact in the areas of human rights, labor rights, the environment and anti-corruption. We work with the 17 global goals and we have systematized our environmental work and in August 2020 we achieved a DS/EN ISO 14001:2015 certification.

For us, good working conditions and a good working environment are crucial factors in running a healthy business. Therefore, we attach great importance to ensuring good and safe physical and mental working conditions for our employees. We, of course, follow all applicable rules in this area and, among other things, prepare annual workplace assessments so we can constantly improve.

We show social responsibility in all employment matters and employ skilled labor,  employees in flex jobs, and wage subsidies. Our staff is professionally organized and we have a much higher proportion of apprentices, always approx. 10% than required by law. We are a member of the Danish Industry and follow the Industry Agreement, which ensures that all employees have orderly conditions.

We always want to move forward and it is important with new inputs and ideas. That is why we often collaborate with students from Aalborg University and UCN on development projects in energy optimization, sales and marketing, production optimization, HR and management. In addition, we have completed a major health project for all employees focusing on diet, smoking, alcohol, exercise and stress.

We produce products of the highest quality, with a long lifespan, and the longest service life of the industry. Our products are reliable and manufactured according to a number of ISO certifications.

We have a DS/EN ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, which ensures a uniform product quality and efficient work processes. In addition, we have a number of welding certifications such as DS/EN ISO 9606-2 for the construction of tanks according to EN 13094:2015 as required by ADR 2017, DS/EN ISO 10042:2005 for arc welding of joints in aluminum and its alloys and DS/EN ISO 13445-4: 2017 for the design and manufacture of pressure tanks. In addition, we are ISO certified according to the standard DS/EN ISO 3834-2:2005 to meet quality requirements for melt welding of metallic materials.

Besides our ISO certifications, we work with LEAN management to ensure that we constantly optimize our production processes.

In August 2020, we became DS/EN ISO 14001:2015 certified and we are the only tank builder in Northern Europe with both an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification. In 2022, we achieved a DIN 2303-Q2BK1 certification. The certification in DIN 2303-Q2BK1 means that we are now approved to weld in all types of steel (except reinforced steel) according to German welding standards.

In December 2024, we became EN ISO 27001:2022 certified. It is a management system within cyber and information security, which is also close to the NIS2 directive from the EU. We have raised our security level considerably and will also continue to allocate resources to combat the ever-increasing cyber threats.

HMK Bilcon work with UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. We are also part of the global community that takes responsibility for the globe, which is why we have decided to focus on the most relevant development goals for us where we can make improvements now.
