WORDS TO DEEDS -study

The outcomes of a study conducted by FIANT together with 3bility Consulting show that a great majority of the biggest listed companies in Finland have made at least a general level commitment to respect human rights in their business operations. At the same time, for example only 20% of the assessed 50 companies report having started to assess more systematically their human rights risks and impacts. Further efforts are needed in order to turn the commitments made by companies into concrete actions. For more information: Words to Deeds 2019

NO TIME TO WASTE -study

The outcomes of a study conducted by FIANT in collaboration with 3bility Consulting show that only 11% of the studied 110 companies have integrated the SDGs into their business and/or sustainability strategies.
