Business and sustainable development

Competitive business operations promote sustainable development

Talvivaara seeks to secure its future operating conditions through good housekeeping and continuous development of its business operations. This ensures that Talvivaara will continue to be a profitable and competitive company, a good employer and an active tax payer both now and in the future.

At Talvivaara, the enhancement of business operations and the minimisation of environmental impact are closely linked and support each other. Process development, the pursuit of reliable production, as efficient and versatile utilisation of the ore as possible and the improvement of material and energy efficiency all support Talvivaara’s profitability and environmental performance.

Talvivaara’s business operations are transparent, and the company has adopted a strictly negative attitude to corruption. We believe that good financial performance requires that the minimum requirements set for the terms of employment and employees’ well-being by legislation – although high – be exceeded. Talvivaara rejects all manner of exploitation of workers. Naturally, the company also has a zero tolerance policy towards child labour.
