Our company culture is built upon four core values: Accountability, Growth Mindset, One Team, and Care. They are based on the rich heritage of the company but cultivated to acknowledge the demands of the world of today.
Building a perfect workplace is a never-ending journey. And we are not perfect. No one is. But we do take pride in saying that our values are truly present in everything we do, every day. We are proud to take the company forward with these values we so firmly believe in and excited to see what the next 170 years have in store for us!
We care not only about what we do, but also how we do it. We hold ourselves and each other accountable for maintaining the high standards we have set, working together as a team of professionals. It means doing the right thing and speaking up.
We don’t shy away when we see something is not quite right. It is a mindset deeply embedded in the way we work at Ahlstrom. It reflects transparency in what we do as a company and taking responsibility as individuals. It means having colleagues who uphold the same high standards and a work community that supports you in every situation.
Having the ability to grow is a must – whether it is the growth of the business or of an individual. Providing opportunities for our employees to grow is not only a matter of business, but we believe offering the possibility to develop at work is a key to wellbeing and healthy work community.
We want our employees to be able to grow in their own terms and at their own speed. Our job is to make sure the ground is fertile for you to fully blossom at whatever it is you do.
We are a truly global company, spreading throughout 13 countries in four different continents. Our strength is having professionals possessing various traits and knowledge, coming from different backgrounds and cultures, working together as one.
Although we work in diverse teams, we never lose the sight of the common good for Ahlstrom as a company. From every individual professional up to the management team, we are not here to compete with each other, but to make sure we have the circumstances for meaningful and fulfilling work for years to come.
We sincerely want the best for our people, customers, the environment, and the communities we're part of. We are always ready to listen, we critically evaluate our own processes, and constantly develop them. Operating in the manufacturing industry, we know our responsibility in making sure our plants are safe places to work for everyone. Safety of our employees always comes first and knows no exceptions.
