Environmental responsibility

National laws and official regulations provide some of the framework for environmental responsibility, but the Gal-Lis wants to do more for the environment than just comply with legal prescriptions. The company’s work is based on ecological sustainability because continuity of operations depends on there being a sustainable environment. The Gal-Lis takes a proactive approach to environmental responsibility and wants to participate in actively developing environmental-friendly technologies and putting them into practical use.

Environmental factors and the origins of wood raw materials have traditionally interested customers and other stakeholders in the forest products industry. The company’s environment management is based on identifying the environmental impacts and risks of its business and promoting and supporting environment-friendly ways of working. By consistently taking environmental perspectives into account in all its operations, the Gal-Lis also ensures long-term profitability and business continuity.

Social responsibility

The Gal-Lis values employees as individuals and tries to treat everyone fairly and equally. Personnel, who are skilled, committed to their work, and have a firm sense of responsibility, represent an important resource for the company. Gal-Lis constantly aims to increase the well-being of its employees.

People in the Gal-LIs act in ways that respect human rights. The Gal-Lis respects the cultures, values and customs of different interest groups and does not accept the use of child labour or forced labour. The Gal-Lis wants to be a good corporate citizen and to work responsibly in all respects, locally, nationally and internationally.

Economic responsibility

Corporate economic responsibility concerns the impact of the company’s activities on the economic interests of its stakeholders and other interest groups, and on local, national and global economic systems.

The overall aims of the Gal-Lis activities are to ensure a solid financial situation, company growth and increase in value, and to promote sustainable forest economy. This course of development safeguards the economic well-being of stakeholders and enables other responsible behaviour. To achieve and maintain a healthy performance it is essential to continuously develop operational activities and cost-efficiency.
