We operate in more than 50 countries, where we influence local communities and society. The most important stakeholders for Metso's businesses are the company's customers, personnel and suppliers and subcontractors. Interaction with these stakeholders is reflected in Metso's business results. Investors and financiers want to know how competitive and profitable we are. Financial success provides us prerequisites for operating in a responsible way and future development.

Our stakeholder interaction is primarily guided by laws and international regulations. Metso's ethical principles and values are corporate-wide internal guidelines on how to deal with local communities and supplier relations, for example.

All Metso business operations take care of stakeholder relations in accordance with the commonly agreed principles.
