Sustainability and Responsibility

Responsibility and sustainable development are among KL-Lämpö’s core values. For us, this means not only taking care of our customers, employees, and the environment but also taking responsibility for society. Here at KL-Lämpö, we have created our own sustainability program, promoting several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our sustainability program focuses on three important themes: people, the environment, and good governance. We have set goals and indicators for these focus areas, which we monitor and review annually.

Benefits of Sustainability to Our Customers

Sustainable and responsible operations mean thinking and acting in the interests of the customer. At KL-Lämpö, we are committed to integrating the various dimensions of sustainability – social, environmental, and economic – into our everyday work. Our customers can rely on us to act responsibly and transparently

KL-Lämpö has achieved a good score in the EcoVadis sustainability assessment, which provides an independent and credible evaluation of our sustainability performance. This assessment benefits our customers by helping them meet increasing sustainability requirements throughout their value chains. We participate in the EcoVadis assessment annually to monitor our progress and to continuously improve our performance.

Our strong focus on customer orientation and responsibility also drives our commitment to quality. With an ISO 9001 certified quality management system, we continuously develop the quality and reliability of our operations in a systematic way. Our Code of Conduct sets clear expectations not only for our internal practices, but also for our business partners. We require that all our partners operate in a responsible and reliable manner, in line with these shared principles.

Responsibility for Employees, the Environment, and Society

KL-Lämpö takes social and societal responsibility by ensuring ethical business practices, occupational safety, and employee well-being, and by creating jobs in Finland. We invest in the expertise and job satisfaction our staff, which is reflected in long careers. We support well-being and safety through regular training, comprehensive occupational health services, wellness activities, and employee benefits. We improve employee engagement by making regular surveys on job satisfaction, equality, and non-discrimination.

Long careers and consistently good results in job satisfaction surveys indicate that KL-Lämpö is a pleasant place to work. Job satisfaction has remained at an excellent level (rating 4.2 out of 5) over the past year. We enhance well-being at work by conducting a job satisfaction survey every three months.

KL-Lämpö is committed to the Responsible Care initiative, which is the voluntary ethical framework for the global chemical industry. We fulfill our producer responsibility obligations through Finnish Packaging Recycling RINKI Ltd. We are also part of the Water Ecosystem alliance, which aims to improve the quality, efficiency, and environmental friendliness of industrial and municipal water processes.

Additionally, the Key Flag has been awarded to KL-Lämpö Oy's heat transfer fluids, PEITTEX cleaning chemicals, and corrosion inhibitors. (Read more)

We are committed to the principles of responsible work laid out by the Association for Finnish Work. These principles include creating jobs; taking into account the responsibility of production and operation also within acquisitions and the supplier chain; as well as supporting the knowhow, wellbeing and equality of our employees.

By using the Key Flag symbol, we want to draw attention to the quality and responsibility of Finnish work and products.
