Building the sustainability capability within the Neste workforce

• The HR function plays a crucial role in embedding sustainability within the workforce. Throughout the entire HR value chain, the team incorporated opportunities to uplift and enhance sustainability values and mindset amongst employees.
• During the recruitment process, Neste specifically targets and screens individuals who align with the organization's culture and purpose, ensuring that only talents who possess the necessary sustainability mindset are considered.
• Additionally, Neste places a strong emphasis on employer branding, consistently and clearly communicating its commitment to sustainability throughout onboarding and training programmes for all segments of the workforce.

Establish a clear code of conduct and incident reporting channels to promote confidence and transparency

• Neste has a well-defined code of conduct that is effectively communicated to employees and line managers, ensuring clarity and consistency in ethical standards.
• The HR function, together with the Human Rights Department, is pivotal in ensuring visibility and fair employment, striving to create a psychologically safe environment for the workforce.
• As part of this effort, HR and Compliance teams have implemented anonymous channels for employees to provide feedback and report instances of abuse. This allows employees to share their concerns directly with HR, without fear of retaliation from their immediate managers.
• By fostering open communication and addressing issues promptly, HR actively works towards maintaining a supportive and inclusive workplace for all employees. This clearly strengthens Neste’s commitment to Human Right Principles and the overall Social Agenda.
