We want to ensure that our operations are ethical, transparent, and consistent in everything we do.
Responsibility is integrated into the company’s management: the Board approves key policies, strategies, and sustainability objectives relevant to our business and monitors their implementation. Still, every Ilmatar employee plays a role in putting responsibility into practice. That’s why it’s important to us that everyone shares the same understanding of what ethical and responsible conduct means.
Strengthening responsibility awareness through training
“We act transparently, ethically, and fairly.”
“We do our part to combat the shadow economy.”
“We do not tolerate bribery or corruption and expect the same from our partners.”
“We select our business partners carefully and according to predefined, transparent criteria.”
“We assess responsibility as part of supplier selection and in the continuous development of our collaboration.”
A code of conduct based on good morals and values can sometimes feel abstract. That’s why it’s essential to make it tangible through practical examples and exercises.
Ethical business is built on trust – and Ilmatar wants to ensure that this trust is earned every day, in every decision, every project, and across all stakeholder relationships.
To strengthen this foundation, we organized the UN Global Compact Academy’s Doing Business with Integrity online course for all employees. The training covered topics such as conflicts of interest, anti-bribery measures, fair competition, and reporting channels for unethical behavior.
The course, mandatory for all staff, aimed to ensure that every employee understands the principles of ethical conduct and acts with honesty, openness, and in line with our values – expertise, pioneering spirit, accountability, and responsibility.
This training is a concrete part of Ilmatar’s ongoing sustainability efforts. It provides employees with clear guidance for ethical behavior in everyday work and reinforces trust among customers, partners, and other stakeholders. Doing Business with Integrity served as an important reminder that ethics is not just a principle – it’s a daily choice.
