Punainen Risti Ensiapu, Code of Ethics
Our goal is to have people who can administer first aid in every home and at every workplace.
We are guided by trust, responsibility and our desire to improve.
We train first-aiders with the know-how and courage to act.
We are a part of the preparedness and response framework of the Red Cross and the whole country.
Through our operations, we strengthen the objective of the Red Cross to be a leading first aid operator in both normal and disruptive situations in society. We have the capacity to quickly train a large number of people with first aid skills. We produce information on the state of first aid preparedness throughout the country and communicate the importance of first aid skills.
We are a responsible workplace. Our employees feel a strong sense of meaningfulness in their work. We invest in the competence development and wellbeing of our personnel. We set an example ourselves and have trained our entire staff in first aid skills. We operate sustainably and work together to take responsibility for a positive and encouraging work atmosphere.
As a social enterprise, our proceeds go towards the domestic operations of the Finnish Red Cross.
We will be better tomorrow than we are today. Continuous development, utilisation of technology and controlled change ensure the sustainability and pioneering nature of our operations.
Changing needs, research data, industry expertise and partner and customer experience guide our service development. The production of information and knowledge-based management are what support the impact and profitability of our operations.
Our partnership and expert programmes bring value to our network which is an important part of national first aid preparedness. We strengthen the ARVOkumppani® programme and raise awareness of it, and we actively support the work and development of First Aid Instructors.
Our professional skills and experience as an organiser of first aid training are visible to our customers and course participants as high-quality first aid training that increases the courage to act and help. Quality assurance is an important part of our operations.
We want to act responsibly and reliably both internally and together with our stakeholders. We have been involved in organising first aid training in Finland for almost 140 years. The knowledge and experience in first aid we have gained over the years have resulted in the modern high-quality first aid training Punainen Risti Ensiapu provides today. Through our operations, we promote health, wellbeing and public health security across Finland.
The Association for Finnish Work has granted us the right to use the Finnish Social Enterprise Mark as an indication of our social responsibility. We operations are transparent and our proceeds go towards the benefit of society.
We are also a certified Green Office and committed to environmentally responsible operations and decisions as well as to improving our environmental measures both today and in the future.
