We support career development
We invest in the professional development of our employees. Continuous development means that our employees have the opportunity to enhance their skills and discover new strengths within themselves. We believe that by offering challenging and varied duties, we enable our employees to grow as experts and enable meaningful work for everyone. On the other hand, we encourage our employees to continuously develop their work and consider how they could improve their performance to best support the achievement of common goals.
We promote professional development in many ways. Most of the professional development involves learning on the job, which we also support through offering possibilities for job rotation. Additionally, we offer a broad range of training to support career development. The Performance and Development Appraisals conducted on a regular basis also support continuous improvement.
We invest in good leadership and want to provide our managers opportunities to develop their leadership and management skills to help their teams succeed and achieve the best possible results together.
We survey the functioning of our workplace community and the engagement of our personnel annually. We believe that every professional is the best expert for their job, and we value their views and opinions.
Anonymous recruitment
Our primary recruitment method is anonymous recruitment, ensuring all applicants are evaluated fairly, without unconscious bias. This process hides personal details such as gender, date of birth, name, contact information, native language, and attachments during the initial application phase.
We aim to promote fair treatment based on skills and competencies, ensuring equal opportunities and diversity within our workforce. Recruiters access all information only after selecting candidates for interviews, while those not selected remain anonymous throughout the process.
We believe in the importance of equality and non-discrimination, which are integral to our ethical culture. Anonymous recruitment is a key measure in our broader program to enhance diversity and equality.

Metsä Group is committed to respecting internationally recognised human rights. We conduct our operations with honesty, integrity, and transparency. We do not tolerate human rights violations in any form and ensure that the rights of our personnel, customers, suppliers, and all stakeholders are respected.
We adhere to the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and ILO Labour Standards, and we comply with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We are dedicated to preventing modern slavery, including child labour, forced labour, and human trafficking, in our business and supply chain.
We continuously improve our operations to prevent adverse human rights impacts and encourage our personnel and stakeholders to raise concerns through our Compliance and Ethics Channel.
