Outokumpu's corporate responsibility reporting maintains its high quality for
the report of the year 2009. It was ranked third in the Finnish corporate
responsibility reporting review. The results of the 2010 review were announced
on November 8, 2010, in Helsinki, Finland.
In total the reports of 42 Finland-based organizations were analyzed. This year,
the jury placed special emphasis on companies' efforts in the field of energy
and material efficiency as well as diversity at work. Outokumpu continues its
good reporting practices: it was ranked third this year. For the 2007 and 2008
reports, Outokumpu's reporting was ranked first. The 2009 report was an online
report with integrated annual and corporate responsibility reports. According to
the jury, corporate responsibility is clearly linked to business in Outokumpu's
report, and this is supported by integrated reporting. Furthermore, Outokumpu
reports well on energy and material efficiency with set targets and results.
"I am extremely pleased and honoured with this high level recognition and
encouragement. Especially because for the first time we only published an online
corporate responsibility report and it was within our annual report. I believe
that corporate responsibility reporting contributes to improving our
responsibility in everyday business as well as transparency. I hope that by
reading the reports our stakeholders get a better understanding of our
operations and the challenges in stainless steel business. The responsible way
to operate is the basis on which we build, but it is also important to let
people know about our challenges and achievements", says Liisa Jalanko, Vice
President for corporate responsibility in Outokumpu Oyj.
This was the 15th time the Finnish corporate responsibility reporting was
reviewed. The review was organized by the Confederation of Finnish Industries
EK, Finnish Business & Society, Ministry of Employment and the Economy, Ministry
of the Environment, Association of Environmental Management and Finnish
Institute of Authorized Public Accountants. The assessment criterion was based
on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 guidelines.
