25 Business Associates | Schools and Students EAB collaborates with schools on different levels with the purpose of establishing contact with students and reinforcing our brand image. These collaborations provide us with an opportunity to establish a network as well as the opportunity for a constant influx of new expertise into our company. We also offer a trainee programme that give students the opportunity to join our company in a positive and lastingly secure manner. Business Associates | The Local Community EAB is an open and welcoming company with strong local ties. We support and encourage local businesses and nurture the locality in which we operate with genuine dedication. Through continual growth and a well-established sustainability mindset, we positively affect the local economy. We have a goal-oriented and well-integrated environmental responsibility in the organisation and follow laws and regulations relating to emissions, etc. in order to minimise the environmental impact of our operations. At EAB, we want to be a good representative for the area in which we operate. Business Associates | Employer and Employee Organisations We are affiliated with Svenskt Näringsliv (the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise)/Svemek (the Swedish Association of Industrial Employers). In the first instance we use them for union agreement services. IF Metall has a local club at EAB with whom regular meetings are held. We are conscientious about always conducting an effective dialogue with these organisations, with a high level of respect for all parties.
