Why fair play matters
I
n competitive sports, there’s a huge amount of work behind every single success story. It takes determination to make it to the top, but you need to play fair in order to earn and retain your spot once there. In the business world, long-term goals and success are not achieved by chance either. At Finnair, as players in the competitive international airline business, we are committed to preserving our solid reputation in safety, quality, and customer service. To act in a fair and honest way, or do the right thing, is the leading ethical standard in our renewed Global Code of Conduct. We
expect ethical choices and compliance with the rules from every member of our international team. We run training and awareness programmes to foster our ethical company culture and we expect our suppliers and partners to respect similar standards. Like a winning team with zero tolerance for doping, we do not tolerate unfair business practices in any form. We at Finnair wish the best of success to our customers, partners, and other stakeholders and thank them for sharing with us the spirit of fair play.

Hike or bike the waterfront. Not far from Helsinki, Espoo’s shoreline walkway winds along parks, boat harbours, and swimming beaches, with lovely spots for refuelling.
Swim in the sea. If you’re brave, why not go for a mid-winter dip in the Baltic Sea? Löyly on the Helsinki waterfront is one of the most spectacular winter swimming spots.
