Sustainability programme

Our approach to sustainability

Sustainability is closely linked to our core mission and strategy. Sustainable development is a major focus in our new strategy. People, procurement, sustainability, safety and competitiveness form the basis of our sustainability work. The implementation of the strategy is guided by long-term strategic objectives, which also include sustainability-related targets.

Our starting point is to solve societal challenges responsibly and competitively. Through our responsible work, we ensure the functioning of society’s service chains while taking care of the health and safety of our customers. We influence a wide range of populations of different ages and conditions in North Savo and create sustainable value through the solutions we provide in our daily work. We take a holistic approach to sustainability and consider the impact of our actions on the environment, people, economy and administration.

Key aspects of our sustainability work across the company are

• responsible service business
• good workplace and employer reputation
• sustainable economy
• and minimising environmental impact.

We ensure that our service promises and quality requirements are fulfilled, we take care of the well-being of our employees and invest in skills development, we reduce the environmental impact of our own operations and we promote responsible and transparent practices as part of our daily activities.

Our central role as a service provider requires sustainability considerations and leadership as part of our daily work. Environmentally and humanly sustainable decision-making, a customer care model and the responsible development of services are at the heart of our operations. For us, responsibility in everyday life also means, for example, continuous measures to reduce waste, compliance with laws, licences and regulations and the maintenance and development of a safety-oriented company culture.

We are currently working on a new sustainability programme based on the sustainability issues that are most important to us. We will launch our new sustainability programme at the end of 2024.
