The New Boliden Way

Boliden is part of a global and highly cyclical industry. Only the most excellent performers committed to continuous improvements and high standards of environmental, social and ethical performance will survive and prosper.

Boliden's Organisation and Operation philosophy, New Boliden Way (NBW) is the overarching guidance on What we do, Why we do it, and How we do it. It describes how to develop Boliden into a world class metals partner, acknowledged for its added value to customers, shareholders and other stakeholders. Our approach is based on shared values and a continuous improvement attitude. We focus on activities that add value as well as standardised processes and methods that can be replicated throughout the Group.

Our shared values

Passion for improvements

It is always possible to work in a smarter way. This value emphasises our ability to give that little extra when conducting our various tasks in order to make a difference in our business and personal relationships. By continuously improving how we develop products, processes and relationships we can remain competitive in the global metals market.

Value chain responsibility

We are all experts on our part of the value chain. We take responsibility to inform each other in a correct manner and act swiftly to correct mistakes and learn from them, wherever and whenever they occur. We have responsibility to constantly identify the optimal processes and standardise these with the goal to set the basis for further improvements.

Personal commitment

Problems should be solved where they emerge and therefore we are all problem solvers. We all have authority to carry out and be accountable for our work and we always strive to develop our maximum potential for the benefit of everyone at Boliden. We always seek to exceed the expectations and requirements of internal and external customers and other stakeholders.
