Every member of the Group Executive Team has made their own personal commitment, in which they tell how we promise to promote the culture of safety and well-being at HKFoods.
Promoting safety and well-being at work is everyday work, carried out systematically in all our operating countries and all our units. We are part of each other’s work environment, and we all have an opportunity and responsibility to influence the direction in which we develop it.
We care about traffic safety
Improving safety at HKFoods is very important and close to my heart. I commit to promote and build a positive, proactive and safe traffic culture by setting an example and I expect the same from others.
My target is that all my colleagues get home safe and sound every day whether they travel by bike, by car or on foot. Traffic safety is our joint effort!
Juha Ruohola, CEO
We have the power to stop
Safety of our employees, whatever the role, has always been important to me. We should all have the courage and strength to say stop when we see hazardous situations caused by operations, machinery or the working environment. We must do everything we can to avoid situations that pose a threat to ourselves or others.
I’m committed to encouraging, by my own example, all HKFoods people to stop activities that involve serious safety risks. I also support everyone to take an active part in the safety development. We all have the right to a safe workplace.
Jari Leija, EVP, BU Finland
Safety is on the top of mind off all our employees
I will secure that safety is on the top of mind off all employees in Denmark and have Safety KPI´s presented on all local MTM, BU Board meetings and info meetings for blue collars.
Michael Juhl Jørgensen,
Interim EVP, Business Unit Denmark
We care for work-life balance
Work-life balance is important for our recovery. It’s easy to answer the phone and emails outside working hours. Working remotely from home has also increased, making it easy to let working hours slip and become unlimited.
Recovery in free time helps us disconnect from work - physically, temporally and mentally.
I’m committed to supporting a good work-life balance through proactive management that minimises work-related stimuli outside working hours.
Mika Tilli/CFO
We care for our values
Responsibility for work safety starts from the top management. A safe workplace is a result of the decisions and actions that we make together in good collaboration. HKFoods´ Code of Conduct as well as the Group and Business Unit level guidelines cover the key elements that ensure the physical and mental safety of us all. In addition, we are committed to respect national and EU level legislation in everything we do.
A safe workplace is everyday actions – yours and mine! I commit to promote our values: Inspire, Lead, Care and Deliver.
Markku Suvanto, EVP, Administration
