Principles and responsibe procurements

We have signed the United Nations’ Global Compact corporata sustainability initiative and committed to its principles on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption since 2016.

We promote the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in our operations. Out of the 17 goals, the ones pertaining to energy, infrastructure and climate actions are the most important for Fingrid.

Every Fingrid employee makes a commitment to work in compliance with our Code of Conduct, which is based on the UN Global Compact initiative and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Our Code of Conduct also includes Fingrid’s human rights commitment and diversity commitment covering all our operations.

We follow due diligence and respect internationally recognised human rights. We avoid acting in a manner that undermines human rights, we address actions that undermine human rights and, if necessary, we take corrective action.

We expect the service and goods suppliers who operate as our contractual partners to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct or other similar separately agreed requirements. In 2025, Fingrid committed to the recommendations for good lobbying practice issued by the Advisory Board for the Finnish Transparency Register.

Responsible procurement practices are impactful in our outsourcing-based business model. Our commitment to global corporate sustainability initiative strengthens the strategic and operational integration of corporate social responsibility in our operating methods and supports the co-operation with agreement partners in promoting sustainable development and corporate responsibility. In our purchases, we require our contractual partners to commit to our responsibility requirements and monitor compliance through a risk-based approach. We are likewise prepared to commit to the corporate responsibility requirements set for Fingrid by our contractual partners.
