Responsibility a part of our business expertise

Responsibility is a natural part of our everyday work and business expertise, and strengthens the company's profitability and long-term viability.

Sponda’s business operations are planned and assessed from the viewpoints of financial, social and environmental responsibility. In autumn 2009 the company chose environmental responsibility as the priority in its corporate responsibility, and it has also paid particular attention to developing customer service.

Sponda carries out its business transparently, complying with legislation and other regulations. As a major player in its field, Sponda must answer to several different stakeholders – investors, shareholders, customers, the authorities and personnel as well as to subcontractors and the media.

Vision of corporate responsibility steers the development of the operations

In 2009 Sponda continued with its thorough examination and implementation of corporate responsibility, which began in autumn 2008, systematically and vigorously. The vision for corporate responsibility: Sponda is the most reliable, profitable and responsible player in the real estate sector, implementing sustainable development, steers the development of the company’s responsibility in its operations.

The decision by the Finnish government in October 2009 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050 sets new and interesting challenges for the property sector, which will play a major role in mitigating climate change and improving energy efficiency. Meeting this target will require major innovative solutions from both owners and users of properties.
