Corporate responsibility

Corporate responsibility is typically divided into three categories: economic, social and environmental responsibility. Effects may be direct or indirect.

Economic responsibility

In broad terms, economic responsibility aims to promote the welfare of the society. A company is economically responsible for its owners, staff and other stakeholders. Economic responsibility can be imposed on various levels and in varying degree.

Kupariteollisuuspuisto fulfils its economic responsibility, for example, by

• creating added value to its owners
• employing employees
• generating tax revenues, directly and indirectly

Economic responsibility is based on legislation, so the minimum requirement is compliance with prevailing laws and regulations.
