For 112 years, Mehiläinen's mission has been to create better health and well-being as part of the surrounding society. Our corporate responsibility is also based on this mission and our values – Skills and Knowledge, Caring and Responsibility, Partnership and Entrepreneurship, and Growth and Development – as we care for people and society.
Mehiläinen's corporate responsibility programme consists of four business-critical areas: quality and customer satisfaction, innovation and financial responsibility, employee well-being and being a good employer as well as sustainable development of operations. All four areas are monitored with several indicators, the development of which is reported as part of the sustainability report.
The 2021 Sustainability Report is Mehiläinen's second separate annual review on corporate responsibility issues. The report describes the progress of the company's corporate responsibility programme, and follows the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting framework.
