PEOPLE

We will work to improve the working conditions for our employees and farmers.

How we work

Commitment to our People

We commit to our people to create a culture that puts the well-being of our employees at the top of our priorities. By educating and setting up routines and systems for a safe work environment we create the right conditions to reach our target of zero work related injuries. But there is more to our commitment and our people’s well-being than staying safe. Our culture encourages curiosity and to challenge ourselves finding new solutions. We want to create a place of growth where people evolve.

Commitment to our Farmers

We commit to simplify work and improve the results for our farmers. All our machines are tested thoroughly in field and at our Testing department to reach our high demands on quality and performance in field as well as the certification standards. The development and testing team work in close collaboration with our farmers to get valuable insights regarding usability and maximizing every work step and the potential in every seed. Our safety culture extends to the users of our machines, supporting farmers with practical guides and services on how to best set up and handle the machine. We always test before delivery, and we never leave a farmer behind after delivery – it´s a partnership with a lifelong commitment.

Commitment to our Society

Our biggest contribution to society is enabling our farmers to produce more food in a resource efficient way. But in times of world instability, the commitment to society has grown larger than food production. More recently with employees on both sides of a war we´ve all come together doing our best to give some stability and help those in need. The initiatives we participate in range in impact from the near local community to a global scale. The Väderstad way is to be reliable, show respect and be there for each other. Our culture encourages us to be brave and to challenge ourselves finding new solutions. In this spirit one man’s idea became a reality with the resulting in over 2,000 produced field stoves shipped to Ukraine and the release of its blueprints enabling other manufacturers to contribute. We truly believe that we are stronger together, and together we build and contribute to the society we want to live in.
