Finnair has published its Annual Report today and it is available digitally (PDF format) at www.finnairgroup.com/en. The Annual Report includes the Report of the Board of Directors, the Group Financial Statements, Auditor’s Report and Finnair’s Corporate Governance Statement for 2013. The Annual Report is also prepared according to G3 disclosure guidelines established by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Shareholders, investors, analysts, media, customers, employees, other interested stakeholders and the general public at large comprise the report’s intended audience.

Annual Report integrates financial and sustainability reporting

Encompassing objectives of what were previously published as separate Financial and Sustainability Reports, the 2013 Annual Report measures and accounts for the financial, economic, social and environmental performance of the Finnair Group, and identifies and explains the strategic business ramifications of this performance.

“Finnair has a duty to continually engage with stakeholders, and its annual report is an important venue for detailed information and forthright analysis relating to the company’s performance,” says Finnair CEO Pekka Vauramo. “The report is also an opportunity to provide a comprehensive overview of Finnair’s operations in respect to broader social, commercial or regulatory trends.”

Topics covered in detail in the Annual Report include Finnair’s strategy, product development, fleet, network, and socio-economic footprint in society. Finnair has reported on environmental sustainability since 1997, and in 2008 became one of the first airlines to report according to GRI guidelines. The GRI, formed with the support of the United Nations Environment Program, is the most widely recognised international authority on sustainability reporting.
