Diversity and equal opportunity

We respect and embrace diverse work and lifestyles, as well as cultural differences.

We see various benefits of having a diversified workforce, having employees representing over 40 different nationalities from different parts of the world. In our view, varied skill sets are a key driver of creativity and value creation, and diversity and inclusivity result in teams that deliver better results. 

We promote international career opportunities to all our employees and our Talent Development program includes women and men of multiple nationalities. At Peikko, we have a lot of success stories, how our employees make cross-border careers, and thus not only create value for Peikko, but also explore unlimited development possibilities for themselves as individuals and professionals.

Peikko respects and supports the protection of human rights and recognizes the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As an employer, Peikko respects the basic labor rights of employees as stated by the International Labor Organization (ILO).

We promote freedom of association, right to collective bargaining, equal opportunity, and fair treatment in employment, as well as the abolition of forced and child labor.

Peikko does not tolerate working conditions that are in conflict with local or international laws and practices. We expect suppliers and business partners to conduct their businesses in the same high ethical and legal standard and practices as Peikko.
