Solskyddsingredienser som har figurerat i media
För att möta den uppmärksamhet som solskyddsingredienser fått i media har vi sammanställt bra information till er.
Zinkoxid är ett ämne som är godkänt som ingrediens i hudvårdsprodukter. Däremot får den inte användas som solskyddande ingrediens i solskyddsprodukter. Inom EU finns en kommitté som handlägger just dessa ärenden. Däremot tror man att detta ämne, inom kort, kan bli en solskyddsingrediens. I XXXX Spa Sun-produkter finns inte zinkoxid.
Beträffande titandioxid, som vi däremot har i flera av våra produkter, så är den godkänd som solskyddsingrediens av Läkemedelsverket. Titandioxid är en molekyl som inte förändras av UV-ljus (hög energi) utan är ett mycket stabilt ämne - men det innebär också att den är svår för naturen att bryta ner. Därför har Naturvårdsverket påpekat att denna solskyddsingrediens kan vara toxiska för vår miljö och då främst vattenorganismer.
Titandioxid är ett fysikaliskt filter, vilket innebär att den reflekterar bort solens strålar likt en spegel. Andra fördelar är att den inte "förbrukas" av solljuset, utan bara kan gnuggas/tvättas av samt att den inte penetrerar eller absorberas, utan ligger utanpå huden.
Det gör att den oftast är bättre till känsliga hudtyper givetvis till barn. Rekommendationerna är fortfarande att barn helst ska fysikaliska filter som ett komplement till ett sunt beteende i solen. Idag är det bara titandioxid som är godkänt.
Hudcancer och just sorten malignt melanom ökar fortfarande och från 2000 till 2006 har den ökat med 50 %. Grundförutsättningar för att utveckla cancer sker innan 18 års ålder. ”Detta är en skrämmande statistik” menar Gunnar Guzikowski, kemist vid Läkemedelsverket, och arbetar för att få fram riktlinjer för produktion av säkrare solskydd.
KTF (Kemisk Tekniska Förbundet) i Sverige tror inte att ett borttagande av titandioxid kommer att bli aktuellt då det är en av de bättre och mindre irriterande solskyddande ingredienser vi har idag. Tiden får utvisa hur fortsättningen kommer att bli och gemene man får ha i åtanke varför denna råvara används idag. Avsikten är att motverka en allvarlig hudsjukdom som kan ha dödlig utgång.
Vi på XXXX följer alltid Läkemedelsverkets rekommendationer för att alla våra produkter skall vara säkra att använda. Skulle det bli ändringar i deras rekommendationer kommer vi naturligtvis att agera utefter det.

Sunscreen ingredients which have appeared in the media
To be able to meet the attention that sunscreen ingredients have received in the media we have prepared some useful information for you.
Zinc oxide is a substance which is approved as an ingredient in skin care products. It may not, however, be used as a sunscreen ingredient in sunscreen products. Within the EU there is a committee which deal with such cases. It is however thought that this substance will soon be allowed as a sunscreen ingredient. Zinc oxide is not used in XXX Spa Sun products.
Regarding titanium dioxide, which we have in several of our products, it is approved as a sunscreen ingredient by the Swedish Medical Products Agency, Läkemedelsverket (which has a similar function to the FDA in the US). Titanium dioxide is a molecule which is not altered by UV light (high energy) as it is a very stable substance. This also means that it is difficult for nature to decompose. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Naturvårdsverket, has therefore pointed out that this sunscreen ingredient can be toxic for our environment, especially for water organisms.
Titanium dioxide is a physical filter, which means that it reflects the sun’s rays like a mirror. Other advantages are that it does not get "used up" by sunlight, it can only be rubbed/ wiped/washed off. Furthermore it does not penetrate the skin or get absorbed, it stays on the surface of the skin.
This means that it is often a better choice for sensitive skin types and of course for children. The current recommendation is that it is preferable for children to use physical filters, as a complement to sensible precautions in the sun. Only titanium dioxide is approved at present.
Skin cancer - and especially the type malignant melanoma - is still on the increase, and between 2000 and 2006 it increased by 50 %. The most important events which lead to the development cancer occur before 18 years of age. ”This is a frightening statistic” says Gunnar Guzikowski, chemist at Swedish Medical Products Agency, (Läkemedelsverket) who is working at establishing guidelines for the production of safer sunscreens.
KTF (Kemisk Tekniska Förbundet, the Chemical-Technical Association) in Sweden is not expecting that titanium dioxide will be removed as it is one of the better and lest irritating of the sunscreen ingredients we have in the present day. Only time will tell what happens next in this tale, but everyone should remember why this substance is used. The aim is to prevent a serious skin disease which can lead to death.
We at XXX always follow the recommendations from the Swedish Medical Products Agency (Läkemedelsverket), so that our products will be safe to use. If there are any changes in their recommendations then we will of course follow them.

Continual process of improvement for a good and safe working environment
Candesartan cilexetil
Questions and answers
What is going on?
An investigation has been initiated by XXX concerning a possible lowering of limit values, in order to increase the safety margin when handling candesartan cilexetil. Decision on a possible lowering will be taken during May. Limit values for handling e.g. substances within the company is constantly revised.
Where is Candesartan cilexetil handled?
Candesartan cilexetil is the active substance in XXX and is handled within Sweden Operations in production, packing, dispensing, storage and laboratory, and within PAR&D.
Why is this done?
The motive for the investigation is partly our continual revision of the limit value, partly a new pregnancy guideline within XXX, based upon the policy that we shall have a good and safe working environment for all co-workers. We shall have a working environment which is safe enough for co-workers who are planning a pregnancy, or who actually are pregnant, to continue their work and only in exceptional cases be given alternate assignments. Concurrently, a study has been published in a scientific journal, “New England Journal of Medicine”. The article describes a study concerning foetal effects in pregnant women, suffering from hypertension and treated with ACE-inhibitors. The result from the study implies that ACE-inhibitors may have teratogenic effects earlier in the pregnancy than previously demonstrated. Even if there are data which are contradictory to the results in the article, XXX takes the study into consideration in their investigation. Candesartan cilexetil is not a pure ACE-inhibitor but acts on the same blood pressure regulating system in the body.
What happens now?
Pending the decision, supplementary sampling of air will be done within production, packing, dispensing, storage and laboratory within Sweden Operations. Risk assessments of the enterprise will also be audited,
If I work with candesartan cilexetil, what should I do?
Use prescribed protective equipment which offers adequate protection according to protection sheets and batch protocols. Abide to routines and instructions. Inform your supervisor if our are pregnant or plan to be pregnant. In protection- and tablet protection sheets is stated that pregnant and breast feeding women should not work with the actual handling of the substance if there is a risk of exposure. When it becomes known that a person is pregnant, she will have alternate assignments.
Should all women in fertile age be excluded from handling candesartan?
It is important that prescribed protective equipment is correctly used and that current routines are followed. If you are pregnant, or planning to be pregnant, you should notify your supervisor. In protection- and tablet protection sheets is stated that pregnant and breast feeding women should not work with the actual handling of the substance if there is a risk of exposure. When it becomes known that a person is pregnant, she will have alternate assignments.
Are only women affected or can men’s sperms be affected, as well?
Since the operative mechanism is a direct influence on the organs of the foetus, neither ova nor sperms are affected.
In case the limit value is lowered – does that imply hazardous work today?
Protective equipment is adequate, but we need to revise routines and instructions in order to further secure a safe and good working environment. There may be stages in the handling which calls for additional measures, and this will be assessed concurrent to the updating of risk assessment.
Will the substance remain active in the body a long time after exposure?
No, the biological half-life of the substance is short and a possible uptake will disappear from the body within a few hours/days.
How can you claim that we have a safe working environment when we nevertheless have to use personal protective equipment?
Depending on the equipment on the working site, more or less personal protective equipment may be required for certain steps of the process. It is important to keep in mind that routines, instructions and also protective equipment are important components of the safe working environment. Following prescribed routines is important for my own safety, as well as for the safety of my co-workers.
Do we have to rebuild the facilities in order to handle a substance with a lower limit value?
This is a possible consequence that cannot be excluded. It depends on the layout of the specific site today and the magnitude of a possible lowering of the limit value. It may in some cases suffice to change the current routines. This will be assessed concurrent to the updating of risk assessment.
Is the substance absorbed through the skin?
No. It is important to have clean hands when you put on protective gloves and to follow current routines concerning protective equipment.
Can I be exposed in blue zone and in the lunch room if persons working with candesartan cilexetil are spreading the substance through their clothes and shoes?
No, not if everyone abides to current routines for changing clothes and shoes. Candesartan cilexetil is in itself a substance that does not "pollute” easily, i.e. it does not easily persist in clothes and equipment, and is relatively easy to remove. Routines for changing clothes and shoes will also be reviewed as a part of the updating of risk assessment.
How do we handle limit values?
Our internal limit values are reviewed at regular intervals and the review of candesartan cilexetil was a scheduled one. Continuing flows of new data on the chemicals we are handling are generated by e.g. scientific articles, side effect reports and research reports. As one stage of the systematic work on working environment, the company is investigating what is deemed to be relevant for the working environment, in order to review whether any measures must be taken to improve the working conditions for our employees.
Why do you present this information in this manner?
As one stage of the systematic work on working environment which is implemented in order to improve the working environment, we wish to raise the level of information from XXX and raise the level of awareness of the staff.
When do I receive more information?
Further information will be issued as soon as the decision on limit value is taken and when the supplementary measurements are finished.
Contact your supervisor or your contact person within XXX if you have any questions.

Use the prescribed protective equipment, which offers complete protection, according to safety data sheets and batch protocols. Follow routines and instructions. Inform your supervisor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. In safety data sheets and tablet safety data sheets it currently states that pregnant and breastfeeding women should not work with the actual handling of the substance if there is a risk of exposure. When it becomes known that a worker is pregnant, she is to be given different working tasks.
Should all women of fertile age be excluded from handling candesartan?
It is important that the prescribed protective equipment is used correctly and that applicable routines are followed.

Organiska/ekologiska produkter
Till skillnad från livsmedel, som har strikta regler när det gäller ekologiska varor, har inte hudvårdprodukter någon ekologisk certifiering, d.v.s. att det inte finns några regler i Sverige för när en produkt får kallas ekologisk.
Det finns dock flera organisationer (i Sverige och utanför) som har egna regler och egna märkningar.
I Sverige är det fritt fram för ett företag att marknadsföra sin hudvårdsprodukt som organisk/ekologisk men dock inom ramen för marknadsföringslagen och kosmetiklagstiftningen.
I Sverige finns det idag företag som marknadsför sina hudvårdsprodukter både som ekologiska och organiska. Vad är det för skillnad?
Vad betyder "Ekologisk"
För att få någon uppfattning om vad ekologisk betyder kan man titta på livsmedelbranschen där det finns strikta definitioner.
En ekologisk produkt (matvara) är en produkt som är gjord på råvaror som kommer från ekologiska odlingar (ekologiskt certifierade) där kemiska bekämpningsmedel, pesticider, GMO och konstgödsel ej används.
I Sverige har jordbruksverket bemyndigat KRAV, som kontrollerar i stort sett all ekologisk produktion. För att en hel produkt ska få godkännas som ekologisk i Sverige (KRAV-godkänd) krävs det att minst 95 viktprocent av råvarorna är klassade som ekologiska (KRAV-godkända).

Organic/ecological products
Although foodstuffs have strict rules regarding ecological products, there is no ecological certification system for skincare products, i.e. there are no rules in Sweden about whether a product may be called ecological.
There are however several organizations (in Sweden and elsewhere) which have their own rules and own markings.
Any company is allowed to market their skincare products as organic/ecological in Sweden, though within the framework of laws governing marketing and cosmetics.
In Sweden there are currently companies which market their skincare products as ecological or organic. What is the difference?
What does “ecological” mean?
Some understanding of this term can be gained by looking at the food industry, which has strict definitions of what is ecological.
An ecological product (foodstuff) is made of raw materials which are grown ecologically (certified ecological) where chemical insecticides and pesticides, GMO and artificial fertilizers are not used.
The Department of Agriculture in Sweden has authorized the KRAV organization, which verifies almost all ecological production. In order that a product be approved as ecological in Sweden (approved by KRAV) it is required that at least 95 per cent (by weight) of the raw materials are classed as ecological (approved by KRAV).

På Sandvik i Zambia får alla anställda rådgivning, testning, utdelning av kondomer och framför allt fri bromsmedicin till sig själv och sin familj. Zambias ändrade regler på import och distribution av bromsmediciner har medfört en prissänkning på dessa mediciner. En viktig del är informationsarbetet. På Sandvik har de anställda och cheferna spelat in en film som beskriver hur en anställd förstår att han är sjuk och går till sin chef för att ta upp frågan. | Translation - English

The Incas were an advanced people, credited with many innovations during their rule such as sophisticated architecture, an intricate calendar and a long network of interconnected trails centered on the sacred city of Machu Picchu, and Cusco, their ancient capital. After falling to the superior weaponry and tactics of the Conquistadors, Peru became the center of the Spanish empire in the Americas, which lasted until the mid-1800s. After a series of dictatorships, wars, revolutions and many authoritarian regimes, Peru is now a democratic country committed to rebuilding and making up for years of underdevelopment. | Translation - Swedish
Inkafolket var avancerat och kan tillskrivas en mängd uppfinningar under deras styre, såsom en sofistikerad arkitektur, en komplicerad kalender och ett långt nätverk av sammanhängande färdleder med den heliga staden Machu Picchu och den uråldriga huvudstaden Cusco som medelpunkter. Efter att ha besegrats av Conquistadors med deras överlägsna taktik och vapenarsenal, blev Peru ett centrum för det Spanska imperiet i Amerika. Detta varade fram till mitten av 1800-talet. Peru har haft flertalet diktaturer, krig, revolutioner och åtskilliga auktoritära regimer, men är numera ett demokratiskt land som strävar efter uppbyggnad och återhämtning efter åratal av underutveckling.

Uppsatsen redogör för tre svenska klädföretags miljöredovisningar och
hur dessa uppfyller de kvalitativa egenskaperna: begriplighet,
relevans, tillförlitlighet och jämförbarhet. Dessa kvalitativa
egenskaper ska enligt det internationella redovisningsorganet IASBs
föreställningsram (Internationell Accounting Standards Boards
framework, dvs. IASBs framework) vara uppfyllda i de finansiella
rapporterna som företagen lämnar. De tre klädföretag som vi har valt
att undersöka har offentliggjort frivilliga miljöredovisningar. I
dagsläget finns det inga lagkrav på hur frivilliga miljöredovisningar
ska presenteras, däremot finns det olika rekommendationer. Vi menar
att IASBs fyra kvalitativa egenskaper kan appliceras på frivilliga
miljöredovisningar i syfte att säkerställa ett visst mått av
kvalitet. I vår uppsats har vi därför med utgångspunkt ifrån såväl
IASB, FAR/SRS och FEE definierat vilka kriterier som rimligen bör
ingå i dessa egenskaper. Egenskaperna har även anpassats till att
kunna tillämpas på den svenska klädbranschen.
Studien utfördes genom att vi först undersökte företagens
miljöredovisningar varpå dessa analyserades utifrån det vi avser med
de kvalitativa egenskaperna: begriplighet, relevans, tillförlitlighet
och jämförbarhet. Vidare har vi genomfört intervjuer med de respektive
företagens miljöansvarige för att slutligen göra en avstämning mellan
miljöredovisningarna, vår analys och det företagen själva har uttalat
sig om.
I undersökningen har vi kommit fram till att ingen av företagens
miljöredovisningar kan anses ha god kvalitet då samtliga uppvisar
brister i någon av de kvalitativa egenskaperna som vi har utgått
ifrån. Begripligheten i de tre miljöredovisningarna kan sägas vara
god medan det förekommer bristfälligheter i fråga om relevans,
tillförlitlighet och jämförbarhet.

This dissertation examines three Swedish clothing manufacturer’s environmental accountancy statements and how these satisfy the qualitative properties: intelligibility, relevance, reliability and comparability. These qualitative properties should, according to the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) framework, be satisfied in the companies’ published financial reports. The three clothing companies we chose to investigate have made public their voluntary environmental accountancy statements. There is currently no law stating how voluntary environmental accountancy statements are to be presented, though there are some recommendations. We consider that IASB’s four qualitative properties can be applied to voluntary environmental accountancy in order to guarantee a certain level of quality. We have therefore in this dissertation defined which criteria should be included in these properties on the basis of IASB, FAR/SRS and FEE. These properties have been modified to enable application within the Swedish clothing industry.
The study commenced with an investigation of the companies’ environmental accountancy statements. These were then analysed on the basis of what we consider to be the qualitative properties intelligibility, relevance, reliability and comparability. We furthermore conducted interviews with the environmental officer of each company; and finally compared the different environmental accountancy statements, our analyses and information obtained directly from each company.
In our study we concluded that none of the companies had environmental accountancy statements of good quality, as all had shortfalls in the qualitative properties which our study was based upon. Intelligibility in the three environmental accountancy statements can be described as good; however there were insufficiencies in the case of relevance, reliability and comparability

Jag är mycket intresserad av att ordna en kort 12-minutersintervju med Er/Er verkställande direktör angående företagets senaste utveckling, kärnverksamhet, marknadstendenser och framtida tillväxtstrategier för företagets fortsatta verksamhet.
XXX är ett spjutspetsföretag inom finansnyheter och media, som erbjuder betydande och frambrytande marknadsdata, nyheter - live och audio vid förfrågan - samt ett ständigt växande bibliotek av relevanta dokumentationer och pressmeddelanden. Enbart i år, kommer XXX att intervjua över 2000 VD:ar i ledande offentliga företag aktiva inom börshandeln över hela världen.
I denna evigt expanderande globala ekonomi, är det inte längre bara institutionerna som har tillgång till den internationella marknaden. Det är idag nödvändigt för en sofistikerad och skarpsinnig investerare i detaljhandeln att även ha global spridning på investeringarna. XXX kommer att öppna upp för oupptäckta marknader världen över genom att ta fram historier och möjligheter i ljuset, som annars skulle förbli osedda.
Intervjuer är ett utmärkt sätt att uppdatera investeringssamhället om ert företags framsteg och senaste utveckling. Er historia kommer att höras över hela världen av institutionella investerare, fondförvaltare, analytiker från både köp och sälj sidan, individer med högt nettovärde (s.k. HNWI), medlemmar av finanspressen och media med mera.
Denna intervju kommer till en början att presenteras på vår hemsida som ljudfil.
Intervjuerna görs på engelska, men vi kan arbeta tillsammans med ert företags översättare om det behövs.
Var vänlig och kontakta mig så snart det är möjligt för Er, för mer information och för att boka in en tid.
Med vänlig hälsning,
