"The Supplier Code of Conduct endorses, inter alia, our commitment to core labour standards. These include an undertaking not to use forced labour or child labour (capturing anyone below 15 years or exceptionally 14 years). If suppliers are employing young people, above the minimum age but under 18 years, suppliers shall not jeopardise their health, safety or morale. We further require that wages and working hours are agreed on fairly and comply with national minimum wages standards or industry standards, whichever is higher. We also require suppliers’ employees to be allowed at least one day off per every seven-day period.

As regards the workplace, we require suppliers to ensure their employees operate in a safe and healthy working environment including, at the very minimum, access to drinking water, clean sanitary facilities, adequate ventilation and thermal conditions, emergency exits, proper lighting and access to first aid supplies and related facilities.

Our Supplier Code of Conduct is included in purchase agreements with a contract value of EUR 100,000 or more. As per our contract clause, Fortum contractors warrant that neither the contractor themselves nor any persons acting on their behalf are engaged in or using child labour or forced labour in the fulfilment of their Fortum contract. This clause includes a requirement to inform Fortum as soon as legally possible of any changes in relation to this matter. In addition, suppliers are required to have in place adequate policies and management systems to ensure no child labour or forced labour is used. Our standard contracts authorise the carrying out of supplier audits to monitor compliance and give Fortum a right to termination of the contract in case of non-compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct."

Suppliers comply with company policies: "We have zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking. We expect our business partners to act responsibly and to comply with the Fortum Code of Conduct and our Supplier Code of Conduct"
