Making the everyday extraordinary

We make the everyday extraordinary. We aim to create positive experiences for our stakeholders, foster an inclusive culture, and recognize that innovation benefits from diverse perspectives.

Health and safety

Our employees have the right to a safe working environment, every day.

Our target is that we have zero accidents. We encourage everyone to take responsibility for their own safety and that of others. The promotion of health and safety is also an integral part of our management system, and almost all our sites are covered by the ISO 45001 standard. We are working to expand this standard to cover all our manufacturing units and distribution centers.

We expect our management teams to carry out regular health and safety performance reviews to ensure sufficient resourcing and to make continuous health and safety improvements an integral part of our culture.

We actively promote a culture of zero harm and believe that safety is our shared responsibility. We continuously strive to reduce incidents, increase hazard awareness, promote safety observation, and good practice reporting for all employees. Identifying hazards is an essential step in controlling health and safety risks. Risk is a combination of the probability and severity of consequences of a hazardous activity or task. We have procedures for hazard identification and risk assessments to continuously improve health and safety in the workplace. 

Our target: Zero harm with zero LTAF (Lost time accident frequency)

Annual Safety Week

Safety Week is our annual opportunity to bring colleagues across Fiskars Group together with a shared purpose: to pause, reflect, learn, and strengthen our commitment to keeping one another safe. Manufacturing units, distribution centers, offices, and retail locations all participate, reinforcing that safety is everyone’s responsibility, regardless of where they work.

Manufacturing units, distribution centers, offices, and retail locations all participate, reinforcing that safety is everyone’s responsibility, regardless of where they work.

In 2025, Safety Week was held in September under the theme “We Care: See the Risk, Protect What Matters – Start with You.” The week encouraged employees to recognize hazards, engage in meaningful conversations about safety, and strengthen our shared responsibility for preventing injuries and ill health.

Activities included safety walks, practical training sessions, workshops, and team-led initiatives that promoted learning, collaboration, and the sharing of good practices across the business. These activities help turn safety from a process into a daily habit and strengthen the culture we are building together.

Building on this momentum, Safety Week continues in 2026 with the theme “We Care: If You See It, Say It, Act!”, encouraging everyone to identify hazards, speak up with confidence, and take action before incidents occur. By empowering our people to intervene positively and support one another, we continue our journey towards a stronger, more proactive safety culture.

Health and safety remains a year-round priority, supported by continuous improvement initiatives that help embed safe behaviors into everything we do.

In 2025, our Lost Time Accident Frequency (LTAF) was 4.0, and we recorded no work-related fatalities.
We continue to build awareness and engagement through global initiatives such as Safety Week, empowering employees to identify hazards, speak up, and take action before incidents occur. Safety performance is regularly reviewed, enabling us to learn, share best practices, and continuously improve the way we work.

Our commitment extends beyond our own operations. We work closely with suppliers and business partners to promote the same high standards of health, safety, and ethical conduct throughout our value chain. All suppliers are expected to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, and compliance is monitored through regular sustainability audits. In 2025, we completed 92 sustainability audits across our supplier base.

We encourage an open and transparent culture where employees, suppliers, and partners feel confident raising concerns. Through our anonymous Ethics and Compliance Helpline, potential issues can be reported, investigated, and addressed appropriately, supporting trust, accountability, and continuous improvement.
