People

We are strongly committed to respecting the highest standards of human rights in our operations and supply chains, build close, long-term relationships with the communities that host our production sites, and provide safe and healthy work environments free from discrimination and full of opportunity for our team. Ahlstrom-Munksjö’s continued progress in these three priority areas is essential to our long-term success. When people thrive, we thrive.

Human Rights

Our company Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct affirm our dedication to fair and equal treatment in hiring and employment practices, respect for freedom of association and collective bargaining rights, and prohibition of child labor, harassment and abuse, and forced and compulsory labor. We encourage reporting of all potential violations of our codes to a dedicated and confidential mailbox, codeviolation@ahlstrom-munksjo.com.

Community Engagement

To Ahlstrom-Munksjö, Community Engagement means having a positive impact in the community by supporting local and global initiatives that align with our values. In particular, by building long-term relationships with the communities that host our production sites, we can ensure we are a good neighbor and create possibilities for productive collaborations and partnerships.

Our production sites have undertaken a diverse range of community engagement activities, such as hosting open houses and plant tours, providing educational or professional development opportunities for young people, contributing charitable donations and in-kind support to community enrichment activities, and quickly responding to any concerns related to regular plant activities.
