A People-Care Partner
At HARDI, being a People-Care Partner means taking responsibility for the health, safety, development, and well-being of the people connected to our business — from our own employees to the users of our equipment, and the partners we work with across our value chain. Our commitments are defined through group-wide policies aligned with EXEL Industries and supported by local implementation across our organisation.
HARDI operates under the EXEL Group Code of Conduct, which defines expectations for ethical business behaviour, including integrity, fair competition, and anti-corruption. These principles are supported by internal policies, procedures, and employee training, helping ensure responsible and transparent business conduct across our operations.
Exel Industries Code of ConductHealth, safety, and well-being
We are committed to providing a safe, healthy, and supportive working environment for all employees. This includes proactive risk management, safety training, incident reporting, and measures that support both physical and mental well-being. Our approach is guided by the ambition of continuous improvement in workplace health and safety practices.
HARDI works to create working conditions that support engagement, development, and long-term retention. This includes clear and transparent recruitment and onboarding processes, open communication, and leadership responsibility for positive team dynamics. We support employee development through access to training, upskilling, and learning opportunities aligned with both role requirements and career progression, helping employees build skills while supporting organisational resilience.
Diversity, inclusion and equality
HARDI brings together people with different backgrounds, experiences, ages, and perspectives across our locations and functions. We see this diversity as a strength and work to foster an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated with respect and has the opportunity to contribute and develop.
Our commitment includes a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination and a focus on inclusive leadership and everyday behaviours that support fairness and belonging at work.
At HARDI, we believe that a diverse and inclusive workplace is essential for our success. We recognize that our employees come from different backgrounds and experiences, and we value and embrace those differences. Equal opportunity and treatment are a part of our recruitment process and our approach to developing current employees.
Supply chain responsibility
HARDI expects its suppliers and business partners to comply with applicable laws and regulations. We recognise that social and environmental practices in the supply chain are an important part of responsible business conduct.
We are committed to taking ESG considerations into account in our relationships with suppliers and business partners, with a longer-term focus on transparency, responsible practices, and collaboration as part of the continued development of our sustainability approach.
End-users
The safe and responsible use of HARDI equipment is an important part of our social responsibility. Our End-User Health, Safety and Well-being Policy sets out how safety considerations are integrated into product design, documentation, and training, with the aim of minimising risks associated with equipment operation.
We support this through clear safety information, user guidance, and training delivered via our dealers and importers, supported by HARDI Academy. These efforts are designed to promote safe equipment operation and continuous improvement through feedback and reporting channels, recognising that safe use depends on both product design and user practices.
