Creating value for people and society

Our goal is to create value for all our stakeholders, including customers, employees, subcontractors, end users of our services, partners, and owners.

Many of SOL’s operating practices contribute not only to our own sustainability objectives but also to a more sustainable future and society. We describe the positive impact and value created through our business as four distinct footprints:

Wellbeing footprint: Our services promote health, safety, and wellbeing. We create healthier and safer environments for the users of our customers’ facilities while also supporting the wellbeing of our own employees.

Competence footprint: We help our customers succeed through the expertise and professionalism of our workforce. At the same time, we provide our employees with opportunities to build skills, gain qualifications, and advance their careers. The training and learning opportunities offered by SOL also generate broader societal value.

Environmental footprint: We enable our customers to choose low-emission and resource-efficient service solutions and provide service-specific carbon footprint calculations. Our operations help extend the lifecycle of textiles and reduce the use of plastics, metals, and chemicals, supporting a more circular economy.

Meaningful impact footprint: We strengthen employees’ sense of professional pride, influence responsible consumption habits, and contribute to society through taxes and pension contributions. We also help enhance the appreciation and attractiveness of the service sectors in which we operate.

At the heart of our value creation is a skilled and motivated workforce. We provide accessible employment opportunities and promote workforce participation, particularly among young people and individuals with immigrant backgrounds. Through employment and learning pathways, we help prevent social exclusion and support long-term career development. SOL’s values-driven culture and people-focused leadership create a strong foundation for professional growth and workplace wellbeing.

Ultimately, every one of our services is designed for people. That is why trust, safety, and quality form the foundation of everything we do.
