Corporate Responsibility

For an inclusive, green and prosperous world.

Sustainability in everything we do

Sustainable development and caring for others are at the heart of Fondia’s culture. It is the way we treat each other, our customers, our society, and our stakeholders, and how we promote financial performance now and in the future.

Our sustainability program guides our sustainability work by defining the key focus areas, goals, and principles. You can find more detailed information on our sustainability in our sustainability review, which was first published for the year 2024.

Fondia’s Sustainability Review has been published

Sustainability is one of Fondia’s cornerstones, and we want to strengthen our commitment to it by publishing a voluntary annual sustainability review. In the review, we continue to use the ESRS standards as a framework where applicable. The review addresses key topics such as governance, environmental responsibility, HR-related sustainability initiatives, compliance, as well as data protection and cybersecurity. Fondia’s sustainability review is separate from the company’s management report, annual report, and official investor communications, and it has not been audited.

Responsibility in our own operations

Our operating practices are based on good governance and ethics. Our Code of Conduct, as well as other guidelines in line with our compliance policy, set the framework for our operations; furthermore, we expect the same commitment to responsible business practices from our partners. We ensure data protection and security to safeguard the privacy of both our customers and our staff.

Fondia has once again been awarded the Nasdaq ESG Transparency Partner certification for its operations in 2024. The certification is awarded as a testament to the company’s commitment to market transparency and compliance with environmental standards.

Environmental issues are important to us, and we work on them daily. We are part of the Science Based Targets initiative and are committed to reducing our Scope 1 and 2 carbon dioxide emissions by 42% by 2030 compared to 2022 levels (504t CO2e). In addition, our goal is to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. We achieved our first target in 2025 and will continue working toward carbon neutrality.

At the core of our strategy are our employees and our culture, for which our values form a strong foundation. These values also guide our management principles—that is, the way we lead our work and collaborate. We expect our staff to develop their professional skills to ensure high-quality customer service. In addition to legal expertise, we also focus on developing workplace skills, such as our staff’s ability to adapt to change and the adoption of modern technological solutions.

As an employer, it is important to us to promote a healthy and balanced work-life. That is why we offer a good possibility to combine work and leisure time. We treat our employees equally and do not tolerate any form of discrimination. Read more about us as an employer.

We also fulfill our social responsibility by promoting the accessibility of legal services: we have created an online legal knowledge base that is available to everyone and helps companies identify risks early on and find preliminary answers to legal questions.
