As a family enterprise going back more than one hundred years, we at Kuusakoski also have a responsibility to evaluate our operations on the basis of our business culture and how well our values are implemented.

Kuusakoski was founded in 1914, making the company over one hundred years old. The company values are based on sustainability and ethics.

Values at Kuusakoski

We work sustainably

The focus of sustainable work is on occupational safety and the environment. Recycling is environmentally friendly in itself, but we go further and are committed to sustainability in everything we do. This includes minimising noise pollution and other environmental emissions. We are constantly improving occupational safety with the goal of eliminating accidents at work completely.

We work reliably

We always keep our promises. Whether answering a call request or delivering customer orders on time, we stick to our word. We can be trusted in everything we do, both large and small.

We develop continuously

We constantly strive to improve the efficiency of both our services and our processes. We take recycling and materials expertise seriously. For us, this work is a passion that drives us to continually improve the efficiency of our operations. This allows us to react quickly to changes in the market and the needs of our customers.

We work together

Everyone benefits from working together. Teamwork is the only way to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves. By working together, we can further develop our technical expertise, grow our business and improve our profitability.

Our Way of Working – Kuusakoski’s Code of Conduct lays out our common ground rules and offers basic principles for evaluating your own work. We also expect our partners to commit to our way of working, as each of us has the opportunity and obligation to participate in further developing our sustainable ways of working.

Our Whistleblowing service

It is important that we are informed about suspicion regarding possible misconduct, and activity, not in line with our Code of Conduct. This gives us the opportunity to prevent or correct wrongdoing. You do not need to have evidence to support your suspicions, but reports should be made in good faith.

In the first instance, we encourage you to speak to your contact person or with Kuusakoski’s senior management about your concern. You can also report your concerns anonymously via our Whistleblowing channel. The channel is maintained by an external partner, WhistleB.
