Corporate responsibility
The Sanoma Group is a strong European media group operating in different fields of media. The 15,000 employees in the Sanoma Group represent several nationalities and cultures. The Group has business activities in more than 20 countries under seven strategic business units: Sanoma News, Sanoma Media Belgium, Sanoma Media Finland, Sanoma Media Netherlands, Sanoma Media Russia & CEE, Sanoma Learning and Sanoma Trade. The Group's strategic focus areas are media and learning.
Responsibility for society in economic, environmental and social issues forms an integral part of the Group's operating principles and has helped Sanoma's businesses achieve long-term success. The importance of enhancing Corporate Responsibility (CR) at Sanoma has largely risen from our businesses - it is now seen as a business issue. Corporate Responsibility has a strong foothold in the Group's agenda and is becoming more and more strategic in nature.
We are continuously developing our approach on Corporate Responsibility, and a significant step was taken in the form of the first Corporate Responsibility report, which was published in March 2011. Sanoma used the GRI G3 Guidelines as a framework for the report. You may download the report from the link at the bottom of this page. Sanoma carried out a materiality assessment in 2010 regarding CR topics and their significance among the Group's primary stakeholders, and this research acts as an important foundation for further development of Sanoma's Corporate Responsibility.
This section provides an overview of Sanoma Group's CR actions, practices, policies, guidelines and the latest news.
