Our ethical choices enable growth, with a future
Ethical conduct is essential for profitable business, employee engagement, and successful cooperation with our stakeholders.
Metsä Group's operations are guided by our ownership and business strategies, our values, and this Code of Conduct. This Code of Conduct defines the core ethical principles that every Metsä Group employee must follow.
In addition to our own personnel, we also encourage our external stakeholders to familiarize themselves with the principles and, when necessary, to raise concerns about shortcomings in our operations. Metsä Group’s Compliance and Ethics Channel provides an opportunity to report suspicions of misconduct, anything that is not in line with our Code of Conduct. The channel also enables anonymous reporting. Ethics means making responsible choices in everyday life. A culture of doing the right thing is built when our actions align with our values and ethical principles.
A 100% responsible corporate culture is one of our 2030 sustainability targets. Progress towards meeting this target is measured by the ethics Index, which is based on responses to ethics-related statements in our annual personnel survey. The survey maps the personnel's experience of how our Code of Conduct is implemented in everyday life. In 2024, our ethics Index was 79 (target 100).
As with all our activities, we are committed to continuous improvement in this area as well. Join us on this journey towards growth, with a future.
