Responsibility

Our Values

Our values come from the word EPSE – Environment, People, Solutions, Entrepreneurship.

We respect and value our environment and nature

We only live on this Earth once and that’s why we want to protect and preserve the environment and its diversity for the coming generations. The clean water supply is vitally important to all living organisms and our goal is to ensure its availability in every corner of this world. Biodiversity loss is one of the biggest threats we face as a society along global warming, and we are committed to work against biodiversity loss in every way possible.

Our workers and associates are our assets

Occupational health and safety is extremely important for us, see below more about our HSE. We want to work to develop workplace safety also with our associates. The diversity among our team is a strength and we aim to promote diversity in the future as well by hiring more people with different backgrounds. Our working methods and projects are socially responsible.

Our innovation is our strength – we work for the benefit of all

Our unique EPSE™ Method enables delivery of a comprehensive solution and we want to make sure that the solution benefits our associates and the environment while creating profit to us.

Entrepreneurship is a way of life for us

Entrepreneurship is a word that describes how we operate as individuals and as a business, because we take our customer’s challenge as if it were our own and aim to find the best possible solution for it. Developing new procedures and solving problems is our passion.

Environmental policy & ESG Goals

We want to promote the sustainable use of natural resources, that’s why we promote waste-free and carbon-neutral industry. Circular economy is a key means of achieving global ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) objectives, and with EPSE meeting those goals will be easier than ever before. We help to protect communities around industrial facilities by reducing emissions, promoting zero emission targets. With EPSE, resource efficiency can be improved and negative environmental impacts can be significantly reduced. The CO2 emission reduction potential of the EPSE™ Method has been assessed by a third-party expert and estimated as significant. More information about the calculation.

Social responsibility and good governance are also reflected in our own work. We always act in accordance with our values and in compliance with the laws of Finland and the country in which we operate.

EPSE is an environmental technology business. This itself obligates the companies under EPSE brand to consider environmental aspects in all matters as well as pay special attention to health and safety procedures. EPSE is therefore committed to leadership and continuous improvement in environmental, health and safety practices for the benefit of employees, contractors, and communities.

EPSE’s HSE goals are

1. An accident and incident free every day working life
2. Sustainable and competitive business strategy.

The goal of accident and incident-free daily working life means that we actively strive not only to work safely, but also to prevent accidents or incidents by building strong safety culture, providing guidance and instructions and prioritising engineering solutions. A sustainable and competitive business strategy means that we act sustainably: we aim to build a workplace where it is safe and healthy for everyone to come and work, while building our business strategy around these pillars. Competitiveness does not come at the expense of sustainability; rather, sustainability creates competitiveness. EPSE is responsible for ensuring safe working conditions on the company’s premises and work areas. Key environmental, safety and health aspects are carefully considered. The aim is to put in place processes and systems for safety excellence and integrate them into day-to-day activities to develop safe behaviour and ensure a safe workplace for employees. Achieving these objectives also requires the daily commitment of management as well as all employees.

Safety is of paramount importance in our pilot projects, and we refuse to work in unsafe conditions. We conduct a risk assessment for each project and implement any necessary control measures before work begins.

Our environmental and occupational safety policies have been defined in our EHS Management Plan, which is updated annually since 2019. This document is available upon request.
