Sustainability
The keys to our sustainability work
As the focal point of Avain Yhtiöt’s and Avain Asumisoikeus strategy, sustainability leads the direction of our development and is integrated into all of our operations. We advance social housing by building and maintaining sustainably designed residential areas.
We want everyone to be able to afford good-quality living in a reasonably priced home, in the most sustainable way possible. We build homes for our residents that last across generations.
Avain’s Sustainability Themes
For us sustainability consists of three principles: E- Environmental, S – Social and G – Governance. With these principles we ensure that our operations are sustainable and stable.
E – Environmental
Environmental sustainability is a core part in decision making throughout our value-chain.
S – Social
We take care of people by building homes where resident’s needs and safety are a priority.
G – Governance
Good and reliable corporate governance is the foundation of Avain’s operations.
Sustainability Management
Sustainability work at Avain is based on a carefully prepared materiality analysis, which ensures that we focus on the right and most impactful themes. Sustainability work is led by the company’s Board of Directors and Executive Management.
A Code of Conduct for our contract partners and own personnel
At Avain, we want to ensure that operations throughout our value chain are sustainable and ethical. For this purpose we have drawn up a Supplier Code of Conduct contract annex, in which we define the principles of responsible business across the themes of environmental, social and governance responsibility. Our own personnel is committed to responsible and ethical conduct, the principles of which we have set out in our internal Code of Conduct. We attach the Supplier Code of Conduct to every contract we draw up, and every employee of the Avain Group is committed to following our own Code of Conduct.
Whistleblowing channel
If you encounter conduct that is unethical, illegal or in conflict with our values, you can report it to us through an independent whistleblowing channel.
