year we developed our reporting, particularly in the area of
social responsibility. We expanded, for example, our coverage of
human rights and social issues," says Finnair?s Vice President
Sustainable Development Kati Iham?ki.
Finnair?s
own personnel are at the centre of social responsibility. During
2010, the Group implemented several projects promoting wellbeing
in work and good management practice, and others are currently
under way. Long careers speak of employees? job satisfaction:
some 39% of Finnair personnel have been employed by the Group
for more than 20 years and 12% have served for more than 30
years.
The
environmental responsibility section of the report tells how
Finnair has reduced its emissions and advanced towards its
objectives: between 1999 and 2017, Finnair will reduce its
emissions by 41% per seat. As an external party,
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy has verified that Finnair has applied
in its Corporate Responsibility Report the GRI Guidelines to
Application Level A.
