Responsibility

Delete sustainability areas

Responsibility is a vital part of all Delete operations. We utilise operating principles promoting responsible business methods and expect all those working for Delete to comply with them. We believe that the significance of responsibility will grow even further in all business. We are actively searching for opportunities to support our customers by creating services whose value is substantially based on responsibility and sustainable development. We are developing our own operations according to the principles of continuous improvement.

Our operating principles, shown in the activities of all Delete companies, include respect for the legislation in force and the environment, ethics and fair competition. It is important for us to grow and develop the Group’s business responsibly in the long term. Code of Conduct means compliance with generally approved ethical practices and legislation. It also creates trust among employees, customers, suppliers, subcontractors, shareholders and other stakeholders.

Our operating principles create the foundation for the responsible and sustainable development and management of our operations. The operating principles are derived from Delete’s values and operational policy, but the foundation is created by valid legislation, decrees and regulations as well as customers’ safety instructions and related rules. The guidelines related to our operating principles describe the functioning of the processes and specify the related responsibilities. The drafted operating manual describes how we have arranged our quality, occupational health and safety and environmental matters. In addition, we use our operating principles to take a stand on anti-corruption actions and anti-trust legislation, questions of human rights, and behaviour culture at the workplace.

As a partner of Delete, our customer can rest assured that the risk and environmental impacts of our services have been minimised and are constantly monitored. The competence of our staff plays a key role in the development of responsibility.
