Ethics channel
and our way of working
Our way of working
Ethical operation is the foundation of Fira’s corporate culture. We encourage to report about deficiencies and make sure no harm comes to persons submitting such reports. We believe that successful companies are based on a transparent discussion culture, in which reporting of problems is supported.
This is how to blow the whistle and report abuse
Fira’s Whistleblower system is called SpeakUp. It is a confidential reporting channel allowing our personnel and other stakeholders, such as our customers, suppliers and co-operation partners, to report any deviations or violations. The channel is intended for reporting suspected offences and abuse when the whistle blower does not feel that he or she can submit the information directly to the person responsible.
Whenever you notice an ethical concern in the operation of Fira, you can report it under your own name or anonymously by following the instructions below. Your message will be sent to two persons on Fira’s board and to the HR department. Each report will be handled humanely, properly and with respect for all involved.
Our SpeakUp channel can be used in Finnish, English, Russian, Estonian, and Polish.
This is how Fira’s SpeakUp channel works:
- You can use Fira’s SpeakUp by calling 08001-13031 (toll-free number in Finland only). Alternatively, you can enter in your Internet browser the address link:

We recommend writing your message down in advance. This way, you can make sure the message is comprehensive and includes all the information you want to submit.

Ensuring anonymity and confidential data processing
Fira’s SpeakUp channel is not connected to Fira’s IT systems. People in Touch, an external service provider, manages the reporting channel. Fira’s SpeakUp guarantees the anonymity of the whistle blower. Your personal details and data critical for business are safe. SpeakUp complies with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ensures the best possible data security.
