We aim to take into account the impacts of our operations on people, production animals and the environment, and to develop our operations over the long term to promote their wellbeing. Our responsibility work is based on concrete measures set out in our responsibility programme across our value chain and continuous improvement.
HKFoods' operations have a significant impact on Finnish society: together with our contract producers, we ensure that there is enough Finnish food for everyone. Our vision is to be the most valued partner of food moments. This means working together with all our employees to meet the changing needs of consumers and customers by creating sustainable, tasty and nutritious solutions for all meaningful food moments. It is a collaborative effort with customers, consumers, contract producers and other partners.
Developing food production is a collaborative effort
We develop food production throughout the value chain, from farms to consumers, in cooperation with consumers and customers, our employees, contract producers, suppliers and other partners. We use a variety of raw materials, which we mainly source close to the production site and consumer. Our most important raw material is meat, which we produce together with our contract farmers with the aim of developing its production.
We help our producers develop, and promote the well-being and occupational safety of our employees. Together with farms, we promote animal welfare and develop a way of producing food that aligns with our climate goals.
Responsibility is a central part of HKFoods’ strategy, and Sustainable value chain and Competent, healthy personnel are our strategic focus areas. Food safety and the high quality of products and processes are fundamental prerequisites for our operations and are included in our management model as well as in the annual business planning process.
ENVIRONMENT,
people, ANIMAL WELFARE,
AND GOOD GOVERNANCE AND CORPORATE CULTURE are the key themes of our responsibility programme
Our responsibility programme for 2026–2028 focuses on the most material sustainability themes for our strategy, business and stakeholders, based on the double materiality analysis updated in 2025. The program’s four key themes are environment, people, animal welfare, and good governance and corporate culture.
