Finnish Mint Moves Forward on Sustainability

The Mint of Finland (MOF) recently presented at the High Security Print™ conference in Tallinn on sustainability and its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. MOF is 100% government owned, exporting more than 90% (99% in 2021) of all it produces. It operates out of two sites, Halsbrücke in Germany, which is a coin blank manufacturing unit for plated steel and solid metal blanks, and its Vantaa site in Finland which is its coin minting facility.

MOF’s CSR activities are structured around four pillars – labour, the environment, governance, and human rights and fair play. It publishes an annual CSR report.

For its environmental work MOF has a framework of accreditations that set guidelines and goals for continuous improvement. These are the ISO14001 environmental management system, ISO50001 energy management system, ISO26000 recommendations, and Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations Global Compact.
