SOCIAL Responsibility
Sako's business is built on trust. In our industry, safety, reliability and uncompromising quality are fundamental conditions for everything we do.
Our social responsibility is grounded in employee well-being, competence and a safe working environment. We believe that responsible conduct grows from everyday actions — clear ways of working, open dialogue and a commitment to continuous improvement.
HOW WE DELIVER IT
We particularly focus on:
Building a strong safety culture
Supporting employee wellbeing and work ability
long-term development of competence and leadership
Ensuring product safety and quality throughout the entire lifecycle
Responsible corporate citizenship and regulatory collaboration
Social responsibility is embedded in daily leadership and operations at every level of the organization.
Occupational safety and employee wellbeing
Occupational safety is a core part of leadership and everyday operations. Our safety culture is built on clear principles, a low threshold for reporting observations and systematic learning.
We develop working conditions in collaboration with our personnel and continuously monitor safety, work ability and wellbeing.
Competence and leadership
Competence is a key competitive advantage for us. We support multi-skilling, job rotation and internal career opportunities.
The development of supervisory work and clear leadership principles ensure that responsibility is embedded in everyday life.
Product safety and quality
Product safety and quality are integral to our social responsibility. They run through the entire product lifecycle — from product development to manufacturing and testing.
Our operations are guided by international quality and safety standards as well as the specific requirements of our industry.
Whistleblowing
We provide a confidential whistleblowing channel through which potential misconduct or ethical violations can be reported safely. You can access our whistleblowing channel here: First Whistle – Sako
For more information about whistleblowing and the rights of whistleblowers, see the Whistleblowing FAQ (Juuriharja, in Finnish).
Corporate citizenship and regulatory collaboration
We work closely with authorities and strictly comply with the legislation and licensing procedures governing our industry.
Alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals
The most material topics of our social responsibility are connected to UN Sustainable Development Goals 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all, 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages, and 17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development.
