Responsible and ethical business as a foundation of our success
Ethical and responsible practices are at the heart of sustainable business. By making ethical choices every day, we strengthen our role as a trusted partner to customers, suppliers and other business partners as well as communities. In addition, we enhance employee satisfaction and protect the reputation that defines us.
The purpose of Outokumpu’s Code of Conduct is to ensure that every Outokumpu employee lives up to the Outokumpu Way and the highest standards of integrity. The Code of Conduct provides guidance through examples and practical advice, helping us make the right choices in our everyday work.
The Code of Conduct is our compass for knowing what is the right thing to do, serving as a reminder to act in ways we can be proud of, regardless of whether we are in the public eye or among friends and family.
