Corporate Responsibility

Well-established and respected companies are able to demonstrate to their stakeholders that they stand for sustainable development and practices that steer the future into a positive direction. Vaisala is no exception.

We have committed ourselves to publicly demonstrate our responsibility as a company. We report on the economic, social and environmental impacts of our work and follow up on our progress. As Vaisala is all about accurate environmental measurements, environmental responsibility has always been close to our hearts. Now we want to show our stakeholders that we conduct all our business in an equally responsible way.

The report contains information about environmental impacts of our operations and products, but it also discusses Vaisala as an employer and as a part of the communities we work in. Moreover, it explains the ethical foundations our work is based upon, our values and our philanthropic activities. Our reporting is based on the Global Reporting Initiative's guidelines, which is the most widely used reporting standard today.

 

Vaisala's definition on Corporate Responsibility

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.
