We measure the experience of our employees through an annual survey which assesses our current situation and progress towards responsible corporate culture. We address grievances throughout the value chain. There is a Compliance and Ethics channel to use for raising concerns, also available for anonymous reporting.
We promote organisational diversity and gender equality, for example by anonymous recruitment and supporting career opportunities for women as leaders.

Target: Accident-free work environment

Every person working at Metsä Group will receive a safety induction on the work environment’s key hazards before start of the employment.

Accidents are prevented through proactive safety work, such as risk assessment, safety rounds and training. Also common safety procedures, such as work permit and Lock-out Tag-out practices and preventive hazard identification, ensure the safe execution of work tasks in all situations.

We actively report safety observations. Every accident, incident and near miss is investigated, and leads to corrective or preventive actions. This ensures that we can avoid the recurrence of accidents or incidents. Mills will share these experiences, the lessons learned and other best practices with each other.

Target: Continuous improvement in engagement and well-being of employees

Employee engagement is measured annually with an employee survey. Based on it, measures are determined annually, and their implementation is monitored regularly.

In recent years, key measures to increase engagement and wellbeing have included an individual working time model, the training of supervisors in managing wellbeing at work, and a concept for a long-term development programme, Metsä Group’s academies, which aims to identify future competence needs and develop core competencies important to the Group.

Future key measures include the implementation of a global competence management system, and the development of tools for personnel in career and development planning.
