To ensure that we meet current societal expectations and create value for all stakeholders through our business activities, Fijishi enacts the Societal Engagement Principles. They represent our guiding principles and form the basis for our activities.

Our four values - leadership, integrity, flexibility and efficiency - are each represented by three attributes that define what is expected of everyone at Fijishi. Our mission "Illuminating The Possibilities" guides us to run our businesses with clear values.
Our engagement with society

Fijishi looks back on a history. Throughout this time our communities and their expectations towards businesses have changed dramatically and it is important that we continue to adapt to meet their needs also in the future. That is why, we upgraded our engagement policy to ensure we can meet current societal needs and create value for all our stakeholders through our business activities. 

Today, Fijishi is operating at the edge of innovation. Our portfolio, position in markets, and commitment to innovation puts us in a strong position to continue to make a significant positive contribution to solving some of the major challenges of our time. This includes the growing and aging global population, climate change and diseases as well as to help achieve the United Nations Global Goals on Sustainable Development. We are aware of the responsibility resulting from this position and strive to proactively deliver on it. We recognize that our impact is measured not only by what we have to offer but also by how we engage with society and communities around the world.

We seek to listen, understand, take concerns seriously, and respectfully engage in dialogue, especially where dialogue is hard or inconvenient. We strive to create shared value and achieve win-win situations in everything we do. To achieve that, we make sure our engagement with society accompanies the transformational potential of our portfolio and our talented people.
