A safe and inspiring workplace

Focus on diversity

We promote equal treatment and opportunities in the recruiting, remuneration, development and career advancement of people - regardless of the employee’s ethnic origin, religion, political views, gender, age, nationality, language, sexual orientation, marital status or disabilities. Any form of harassment is strictly forbidden and addressed immediately.

The average age of a permanent employee is 42.7 years. The share of employees over 50 years old is 28%.

Fortum ranked 50th in the Equileap 2019 Gender Equality Top 100 ranking, which puts us among the global leaders in promoting gender equality in the workplace.

In addition, we are included in the EY Women in Power and Utilities index. In the latest ranking we hold place 16 globally and place 7 in Europe.

We think safety first

For us, excellence in safety is the foundation of our business. We believe that all work injuries are preventable when we all take responsibility for safety. Potential risks are addressed in time and measures are taken to safeguard against these. Good operational safety is an absolute prerequisite for efficient operations in terms of the employees and the environment. We have common goals for safety and strive for continuous improvement.

We have achieved good safety performance level and our target is to have zero severe occupational accident in 2020. In 2019, we achieved significant improvements in the safety performance of contractors, and the contractors’ lost workday injury frequency (LWIF) decreased. The safety of our own personnel remained at a good level. Unfortunately, one occupational accident occured in our operations in 2019.
