社会可持续性在国际业务中比以往任何时候都更加重要

社会可持续性是全球可持续发展不可或缺的一部分。联合国可持续发展目标(可持续发展目标)呼吁社会可持续性,例如在可持续发展目标中体面的工作和经济增长(可持续发展目标8),减少不平等(可持续发展目标10)和和平,正义与强大机构(可持续发展目标16)。企业在推进这些目标方面发挥着重要作用,例如,通过确保体面的工作,促进平等和抗击腐败。在Vaisala,我们致力于社会可持续的商业实践,我们知道,只有当我们所有的员工和合作伙伴都理解并承诺按照他们的行动时,我们的社会可持续性原则才能实现。

社会可持续性作为我们日常工作的一部分

我们最重要的社会可持续性原则,例如尊重人权,反歧视,工作安全和反腐败,除其他主题外,还涵盖了Vaisala的行为守则。所有VAISALA员工都必须定期完成行为训练守则,以确认他们对守则的承诺。

我们对各种形式的腐败制定了零容忍政策。我们的国际反腐败政策包含在《行为训练守则》中,它严格禁止提供,授予,征求,安排,要求或接受贿赂。同样,对可能在工作中面临挑战的员工进行了更具体的反腐败培训。

Vaisalaappreciates diversity in the workplace. We treat all our employees and applicants equally in all recruitment, hiring, training, and development. Equality and fairness are also important elements of Vaisala’s compensation policy. In 2019, we conducted a wage survey in our head office in Finland and found the wage equality between genders to be on an excellent level. Women’s wage was, on average, 100.8% of men’s wage on the same job requirement level, which is a great result.

我们员工的健康和安全至关重要,尤其是现在在19日19日大流行期间,当我们采取措施确保工厂人员的健康并鼓励其他人在家工作。我们的健康与安全实践以ISO 45001认证的职业健康和安全系统为指导。我们投资于健康和安全培训,并确保在容易发生的环境或任务中工作的人具有必要的资格。我们还鼓励主动报告工作场所周围的潜在安全危害,以便我们可以及时进行调查并采取纠正措施以防止伤害。

在讨论我们的社会可持续性时,我们业务的全球性质是一个主要因素。我们在全球范围内开展业务,并努力在充满挑战的操作环境中负责任地进行,我们希望所有合作伙伴都这样做。

管理全球合作伙伴网络

We conduct business in almost all countries in the world, and the global operating environment poses various challenges, requirements, and expectations for us. This is why we pay special attention to selecting our business partners, and our partners must comply with our Code of Conduct or Supplier Code of Conduct under all circumstances.

为了尽可能高效地为客户提供服务,我们通过100多个国家 /地区的分销商,代理商和经销商网络开展业务。如果合伙人违反了我们的行为准则或国际反腐败政策的任何方面,我们与这些合作伙伴的协议通常包括有关立即终止的严格条款。

Our solution offering is based on a wide selection and low volumes, and this special expertise depends on the effective management of hundreds of suppliers. To meet stakeholder expectations, we must have a reliable and responsible supply chain. We set strict requirements for our suppliers and cooperate with them closely over the long term. We also audit and assess our suppliers to check aspects related to quality and sustainability.

We respect human rights and do not condone violations of human rights or labor laws in any part of our supply chain. In our internal human rights risk assessment, we have identified that the salient human rights risks with the most severe impacts on people lie among those actors in our supply chain that do not have a direct link with Vaisala’s operations. This means our suppliers’ suppliers that go beyond the third tier. These risks are the same as in other electronics manufacturing supply chains, including dangerous working conditions and the use of bonded labor. The human rights risks in our supply chain are mitigated by choosing preferred suppliers carefully and working closely with first-tier suppliers, insisting on policies that go beyond the requirements of local laws and obliging them to ensure that human rights are respected also in their supply chains. We assess the suppliers’ human rights performance and supplier management processes, and if a supplier’s score in the assessment does not meet Vaisala’s requirements, the supplier is expected to implement corrective measures and any weaknesses are addressed in cooperation with the supplier.

我们确定了解和管理人权风险的另一个领域是我们的全球项目分包商网络,例如,我们需要确保我们的合作伙伴遵循足够的健康和安全标准。因此,除了确保他们对供应商行为守则的承诺外,我们已经开始向分包商提供具体的安全说明和培训。我们还培训了我们的经理和工人在高风险领域的采购和项目业务,以识别和管理人权风险,同时使用潜在或选定的供应商和分包商运营。

总体而言,国际业务构成了我们努力应对运营的各个方面的挑战,从我们自己的员工到我们的供应商网络并与全球合作伙伴合作。国际合作和负责任的做法仍然是我们业务的基石,为地方和全球社区创造了好处。
