Arvoisa asiakkaamme, päivitämme verkkosivujamme jonka vuoksi sivustollamme saattaa olla joitain puutteita ja hitautta. Pahoittelemme tästä aiheutuvaa haittaa.
OEM:n toimintaohjeet perustuvat 11 periaatteeseen, jotka on kehitetty YK:n Global Compact -aloitteen puitteissa. Toimintaohjeissa käsitellään ihmisoikeuksia, työlainsäädäntöä, ympäristöä ja korruption torjuntaa. Nämä osa-alueet kattavat sosiaalisen vastuun keskeiset elementit, jotka ovat merkityksellisiä kaikille Konsernin yhtiöille. Toimintaohjeiden perusperiaatteet ovat:
1. OEM tukee ja kunnioittaa kansainvälisten ihmisoikeuksien suojelua.
2. OEM ei osallistu ihmisoikeusloukkauksiin.
3. OEM kunnioittaa työntekijöidensä yhdistymisvapautta paikallisen lainsäädännön mukaisesti, mikä tarkoittaa, että kaikki työntekijät voivat vapaasti perustaa ammattiyhdistyksiä tai liittyä niihin. OEM tunnustaa myös työntekijöiden oikeuden työehtosopimusneuvotteluihin. Lisäksi OEM noudattaa kansallista lainsäädäntöä, joka koskee työaikaa ja elämiseen riittävää palkkaa.
4. Kaikki pakkotyön muodot ovat kiellettyjä, ja työntekijöillä on oikeus irtisanoa työsuhteensa paikallisen lainsäädännön tai työsopimuksensa mukaisesti.
5. OEM vastustaa kaikenlaista lapsityövoiman käyttöä. Toimimme ILO:n määrittelemien raja-arvojen mukaisesti, joten OEM ei palkkaa alle 15-vuotiaita, eikä aseta alle 18-vuotiaita erityisen vaativiin töihin.
6. Ketään ei saa syrjiä työsuhteessa, mukaan lukien palkkaaminen, etnisen alkuperän, ihonvärin, sukupuolen, uskonnon, poliittisten mielipiteiden, kansallisen alkuperän, sosiaalisen alkuperän, iän, vammaisuuden, HIV/aids-tilanteen, ammattiyhdistyksen jäsenyyden tai sukupuolisen suuntautumisen perusteella. Fyysinen tai henkinen häirintä on ehdottomasti kielletty.
7. OEM tukee varovaisuusperiaatetta ympäristöriskien osalta: "Kun vakavan tai peruuttamattoman vahingon uhka on olemassa, täydellisen tieteellisen varmuuden puuttumista ei saa käyttää perusteena lykätä kustannustehokkaita toimenpiteitä ympäristön pilaantumisen estämiseksi."
8. Ympäristövaikutuksia vähentäviin innovatiivisiin ratkaisuihin kannustetaan, ja OEM tekee aktiivisia aloitteita ympäristövastuun lisäämiseksi.
9. OEM edistää ympäristöystävällisen teknologian kehittämistä ja levittämistä. Kestävä kehitys on avainsana, ja OEM käsittelee ympäristökysymyksiä ennaltaehkäisevästä näkökulmasta.
10. OEM vastustaa korruptiota sen kaikissa muodoissa, mukaan lukien kiristys ja lahjonta, ja kehittää ennakoivasti strategioita ja konkreettisia ohjelmia korruption torjumiseksi sekä Konsernin sisällä että sen toimitusketjussa.
11. OEM pyrkii välttämään kaikenlaisia eturistiriitoja, kuten sisäistä edustusta ja lahjoja koskevilla ohjeilla sekä todistussäännöillä.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This Code sets out the principles that govern OEM’s work and decisions. It ensures that we always act ethically, transparently and responsibly, regardless of market or situation. The Code applies to all companies, employees, representatives and partners acting on behalf of OEM. Suppliers and external partners are covered by the Supplier Code of Conduct.
The Code of Conduct is complemented by the Supplier Code of Conduct, the Environmental Policy, the Occupational Health and Safety Policy, and other governing documents. Together they provide a clear framework for our sustainability and ethics work. The Code covers areas identified as material in OEM’s double materiality assessment.
All employees shall undergo training in the Code at onboarding and regular refreshers to ensure awareness and compliance.
INTERNATIONAL FRAMEWORKS
OEM’s Code of Conduct is based on the UN Global Compact, which sets out ten principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti‑corruption. We also follow international guidelines such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Convention against Corruption.
These frameworks are applied throughout the value chain, including suppliers and partners. Together they form the basis for our decisions and actions.

Relevant employees receive training in business ethics and anti‑corruption. All gifts, representation and internal approval procedures shall follow our guidelines to prevent conflicts of interest. The whistleblowing function provides a secure channel for reporting and employees are protected against retaliation.

In situations where the Code does not provide a clear answer, decisions shall always be made based on law, ethics and the company’s values. Assessments shall also be based on consequences for employees, customers, society and the company’s reputation. In case of uncertainty, decisions shall be discussed with the immediate manager or another appropriate decision‑maker in the organisation.
The Code is approved by Group Management. The Sustainability Manager is responsible for implementation, training and annual follow‑up. Compliance is monitored through internal controls, whistleblowing reports and audit review where needed.
