Our activities have an economic impact on various interest groups, such as our personnel, customers, owners, and the wider society. We will manage our finances in compliance with legislation and official regulations.
We do not accept any form of bribery or corruption. We comply with these ethical principles in our business activities (incl. educational export and international recruitment) and require that our customers observe the same principles. We accept donations to support the activities of Metropolia in cash and in the form of grants or stipends.
We comply with Metropolia's procurement guidelines (tendering, procurement thresholds, etc.) in all procurement activities and ensure that our knowledge of these guidelines remains up to date. All calls for tenders by Metropolia comply with the provisions of the Procurement Act, the Subscriber Liability Act and Metropolia's own procurement guidelines. We prefer to use joint procurement, as the framework agreements take the responsibility criteria into account. We will develop dedicated principles of responsible procurement for Metropolia.
How should I act?
Personnel
I will not issue or accept questionable offers or cash.
I will not accept gifts or other benefits that may be considered as inappropriate attempts to influence my actions. I will refuse gifts in any unclear situations. I will only give a business gift when authorized to do so by a director and will never give money.
When making purchases, I will comply with Metropolia's procurement guidelines in Oma intranet.
Students
I will never give or ask for money for completing another student's assignment, for example, or offer money to a staff member in order to influence the evaluation of a course or otherwise improve the position of a student.
Partners
We require that our partners manage their finances responsibly and in accordance with the applicable regulations, and we do not accept any activities that could indicate bribery or corruption.
