Social responsibility

Everyone has the right to work in a safe and healthy working environment. Our goals and indicators for safety at work support us in continuously developing our operations. At Metsä Group, safety at work is managed and monitored Group-wide. We have achieved good results in the area of safety at work in our comprehensive safety management system, which is based on preventive measures and an effective system for registering safety observations.  

Code of conduct and Ethics barometer - part of our responsible corporate culture

We are proud of our responsible corporate culture, which requires all our employees and suppliers to comply with the highest ethical standards. We also promote equal opportunities and encourage all employees to report any discrimination. All our employees regularly attend our Code of Conduct training to understand social responsibility and respect equality. We also conduct both a personnel survey and ethics barometer every two years – the latter aims to provide us with an insight into how our personnel perceive ethics at the workplace and to improve our understanding of compliance- and ethics-related risks.

Needless to say, we comply with each country’s local regulations and legislation on collective agreements and working conditions, including health and safety.  Our DEI (diversity, equality and inclusion) vision is Metsä For All – we are committed to the development of a culture of diversity and equality in which everyone has the opportunity to succeed in their career and be an equal member of the work community.
