Okmetic achieved the highest Platinum level in a sustainability audit

At Okmetic, sustainability goes beyond legal compliance. It encompasses a continuous commitment to people, the environment, and ethical business practices. We are dedicated to evolving as a responsible employer and partner for our customers and stakeholders.

We have adopted The Responsible Business Alliance’s (RBA) Code of Conduct as the guidelines for our sustainable operations. Our operations are audited by an external party every two years according to these guidelines. The most recent audit took place in March this year, and Okmetic Vantaa plant received RBA VAP Recognition Platinum. The recognition is valid from April 6th 2025 – March 4th 2027. Previously, we were recognized at the silver level, so we have now risen to the highest level in the silver-gold-platinum rating. There were no deviations found in the audit.

“We work hard across the organization in the field of sustainability to meet and exceed the expectations placed on us. Sustainable operations are a common concern for the entire company, and it is great that the work we have done is reflected in the results of the audit,” says Environmental Manager Elina Sjögren, who is responsible for RBA audits at Okmetic.

“With an audit in accordance with the RBA, we are able to show customers and other stakeholders how we meet the sustainability requirements in our operations,” continues Markus Virtanen, Vice President, Sustainability.

The RBA’s Code of Conduct is based on five areas: human resources, occupational health and safety, the environment, business ethics, and the management system by which all of the above are managed.
