Our values

 

Total responsibility

We agree on how we should do things and we do so.

 

Openness

When we do not manage to do what we promised, we immediately notify all parties. We speak with people, not about people.

 

Respect for the individual

Everyone has the same worth as human beings regardless of their tasks. Everyone shall be given the means to succeed in their work.

 

 

We have long careers within the Ahola Group, which speaks to the satisfaction and career development opportunities of our staff. We conduct an engagement survey twice a year for our employees, and we use the results to identify areas for improving collective well-being.

 

We also measure our eNPS level, and we are pleased to tell that the rating for the entire group is at an excellent level – our eNPS score is 61 according to the latest measurement.

 

Environmental efficiency is in everything we do today and in everything we plan for tomorrow. We have been integrating sustainability into our operations for several decades. Sustainability is an integral part of Ahola Group’s strategy, and we are committed to sustainability in everything we do. Our daily choices, our development work and our care for the environment and our staff reflect this intrinsic value. We have been investing in environmental initiatives since the mid-1990s.

 

AHOLA GROUP AS AN EMPLOYER

 

We are an international logistics group that operates with family business values. We are succeeding thanks to our skilled and committed staff. Here, you will always work together with pleasant, reliable professionals. We want to take care of our staff by being a reliable and people-oriented employer.

 

A people-oriented attitude and entrepreneurial spirit have always been at the core of our business, and these values will continue to guide our activities in the future. Today and in the future, we will take advantage of our solid digitalisation and industry knowledge to achieve complete environmental efficiency. In practice, this means, for example, continuing training of our already competent staff, monitoring and measuring actual emissions and reporting to our customers.

 

Excellent results in the staff engagement survey are a sign of our staff’s commitment and enjoyment. We want to continue to be a pioneer in our industry, guided by our strong value base. Ahola’s focus has always been and will always be on our drivers; without them, wheels do not roll and loads do not move. We will continue to develop our business and aim to remain the first choice for our customers, partners and job seekers alike.
