Responsibility is part of A-Kruunu’s core activities and strategy. We base our responsibility programme on megatrends related to the operating environment, stakeholder expectations and ethical principles.
Responsibility refers to the responsibility for the people who live in our apartments and the people who work for us. Responsibility means responsibility for the environment, such as influencing the energy consumption of properties and promoting the construction of wooden apartment blocks. Responsibility refers to responsibility for the quality of construction and design. Responsibility also includes financial responsibility and compliance with responsible, transparent and ethical operating principles in the subcontracting chains as well.
