Environment

Vaisala is an innovator and pioneer in environmental measurement and the leading company in its sector. Vaisala’s environmental measurement products and systems provide the company’s clients with a means of favorably influencing their environment. Due to climate change, weather phenomena are being observed and measured more extensively and accurately than before. Industries pay more and more attention to optimizing the use of energy that causes an environmental burden, to the efficiency of production processes and to the quality of products.

Vaisala implements corporate responsibility reporting
During 2008, Vaisala initiated Corporate Responsibility reporting processes in order to publish the company's first Corporate Responsibility report in spring 2009. The reporting is based on the Global Reporting Initiative's Guidelines (GRI G3) for sustainability reporting, the most widely used reporting standard today.  Read the report.

In our view, responsible businesses go beyond what is required by law to make a positive impact on society and the environment. This is achieved by considering the full scope of  economic, social and environmental impacts, and is realized through responsible management, sustainable operations and products as well as engagement with stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, investors, and communities.

Vaisala is a participant and stakeholder in the UN Global Compact initiative. Global Compact enlists companies and other organizations to ensure and improve human and labor rights, environmental protection and action to combat corruption. Vaisala is committed to complying with these values in practice and has embedded them in its Code of conduct.
