UTU as a Benefactor
We want to support those in need. We help both locally and nationally and are involved in doing good in accordance with our values with cooperation and open-mindedness.
For several years, we have been involved in the Gubbe – Happy old age activity. In this way, we make it possible for our selected seniors to have regular company and joint activities with the Gubbe youth once a week. At the same time, we help young people to get a job, e.g. alongside their studies.
We donate our Christmas presents to a selected destination each year. We also support local sports and hobbies. For example, we have been involved in supporting the activities of Ulvila’s baseball club for several years, and we also support youth football in the ranks of FC Ulvila. We are also involved in several one-off events, e.g. supported by school activities and events for families in need.
It is important for us to be involved in doing good, so that we act according to our values.
Whistleblowing UTU
Do you feel that UTU does not deliver ethically or that there are shortcomings or abuses in our operations?
The legislation of the EU Whistleblower Directive has fully entered into force on January 1, 2023. This law obliges all employers with more than 50 employees to organize a reliable reporting channel for abuse and the protection of individuals. The law is based on the EU’s so-called to the whistleblowing directive and it creates a framework for how abuses or illegal activities can be reported and what kind of protection is given to the whistleblower.
UTU´s employees, UTU’s partners and other stakeholders of our company can report activities that violate laws and UTU’s general operating principles through anonymous reporting channel (whistleblowing).
The notification channel does not deal with customer complaints, trouble notifications or general HR matters
