Lindex' drug- and alcohol policy

Abuse of alcohol or other drugs is a working environment issue. A working environment free from drugs is important for everyone's health, comfort and security.

Lindex will not accept that anyone is affected by alcohol or other drugs during working hours. All non medical use of narcotics is a criminal act and will therefore not be accepted in any form at our workplaces. Lindex will not accept that anyone mishandles their work because of alcohol or drug abuse. The concentration of alcohol can not be higher than the official standards for each country in which Lindex operates.

Tests for alcohol and drugs are used in recruitment processes.

Lindex goals:

• Every employee is informed about Lindex' drug- and alcohol policy.
• To provide knowledge for all the employees about alcohol and drugs and its impact as well as early signs of abuse.
• Every employee understands the difference between use, abuse and addiction.
• Managers, union trustees and employees are familiar with the distribution of responsibility and know how to act when suspecting or discovering abuse. 
• Early and active efforts are taken in order to prevent and counteract abuse.
• To offer rehabilitation to employees in need for help
• Alcohols are used with reflection and responsibility at representation, personnel parties and training courses. No one shall feel forced to drink alcohol at occasions like that. Alcoholic-free options shall therefore always be available.
