Corporate responsibility

Netum’s target is to be the most trusted partner in its industry and to help its customers in digital transformation in a responsible and secure way. Netum also wants to be the preferred employer in its industry and to offer its employees a fair and pluralistic working community and to ensure the employees' well-being.

Netum has over 20 years of experience of demanding IT projects. Netum’s principle of operation is based on the Legacy to Digi® concept and an operational model where existing IT assets are systematically utilised when creating new digital services.

Netum’s digital services enable more efficient business operations in companies and more efficient services in the public sector. Utilising IT assets and investments made makes operations more cost-effective, and the company’s cyber security solutions make the society safer. Digital services make it possible to reduce emissions and the need for materials and promote circular economy. Making services digital makes them more easily available and usable both for companies and public administration.

Netum innovates and constantly develops its own operations. The company participates in significant social projects and helps its customers to develop their business operations through digitalisation. This is how Netum together with its customers is building a more responsible and safer society.

Key themes of Netum's corporate responsibility programme

Legacy to Digi® is our approach to digitalisation: we help our customers in digital transformation in a responsible and safe way. Our digital solutions enable more efficient business operations in companies and more efficient services in the public sector. Making services digital makes them better working, easier to use and environmentally friendlier. With our cyber security solutions, we make the society safer. This is how we together with our customers are building a more responsible and safer society.

Our employees are our most valuable asset and each one of them is important. Therefore, it is important to us that our personnel feels that the working community is fair and pluralistic. We are committed to equal treatment of our employees and are against all discrimination.

We want to create a pleasant working community and to ensure our own personnel’s and partners’ well-being. We take care of each other and support the personnel’s well-being in many ways. We want to offer our employees an opportunity to constantly develop themselves in their work.

We are concerned about the climate change and committed to environmentally sustainable action in everything we do. For instance, using green electricity, enabling remote working and prudential recycling of equipment are important ways for us to reduce the environmental load of our operations.

Economic responsibility forms the basis of corporate responsibility. Through profitable growth and continuous development of our operations we can develop increasingly responsible services. With our ethical business principles and profitable growth, we can take into consideration the needs of all our stakeholders today and in the future.
