Finnair publishes more extensive Corporate Responsibility Report

(Warsaw 14.4.2011) Finnair has published its Corporate Responsibility Report 2010 based on the international Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guidelines. Finnair was one of the first airlines in the world to start reporting according to the GRI Guidelines and the just-published report is Finnair's third report covering corporate responsibility as a whole.

"This 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 Ihamäki.

Finnair’s own personnel are at the centre of social responsibility. During 2010, the Group implemented several projects promoting well being at work and good management practices, 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. The report can be read in English at the address www.finnair.com/gri.
