SRV builds sustainable development

During construction, decisions are made that have an extensive, long-term impact on the lives of many people. And thus people have numerous expectations for built environments. Environmental issues are a topical example. The drive to be green is evident in both regional planning and the methods used to implement the buildings. As a construction company, SRV must be able to see far off into the future with its stakeholders and build a sustainable future.

The guiding themes of SRV's corporate responsibility are founded on its field of business and own culture: the transparency of the production chain, occupational safety and preventing the grey economy. Other key issues include personnel wellbeing, the development of environmental responsibility and the financial stability of the company.

Management and monitoring systems are the foundation of corporate responsibility efforts

Responsibility is one of SRV's major values. Our other values are open co-operation, bold in development and enthusiasm for doing. In addition to the values, we have specified principles and systems to support management and continuous development. One of the most important of these is SRV's environmental policy. We have made a commitment to operate in line with sustainable development and report on the environmental impacts of our operations.

SRV seeks to ensure that its entire chain of operations is manageable, transparent and legal. We require our subcontractors to operate responsibly, too. The criteria set for subcontractors are high quality, solid references and proof that their operations are responsible. We have been partners with most of our subcontractors for years. The major tools for ensuring responsible business in our co-operation with subcontractors are the SRV Network Register and SRV Safety.

The SRV Network Register includes all up-to-date information on companies in the subcontractor chain as required by the authorities. This register is the first Finnish tool for significantly improving subcontractor chain transparency. Companies and employees in the chain can easily contact the contractor through SRV Safety and propose initiatives on matters such as improving on-site safety.
