Occupational health and safety

It is important to us to maintain a healthy and safe working environment for employees and visitors alike. The 6S Lean Safety Checklist approach and management safety walks are part of our continuous routines. We have set a target of zero accidents. 

Our occupational health and safety system received the ISO 45001 certificate in spring 2024.

Equality and diversity 

Equality is one of our core values. We are committed to promoting equality and preventing discrimination both in our own operations and throughout our supply chain.

Our operations have an impact on people also beyond our own company walls.

A Finnish family business 

Airam is a Finnish company that is proud of its heritage. We employ approximately 80 people in Finland and about 10 in Sweden, working in various positions in sales, product management, quality, logistics and production.  

At the end of 2021, we strengthened our Finnish production by purchasing the production facilities and machinery of the bankrupted Sähkö-Lahti in Lahti and hiring some of the company’s old employees. 

» We held an open event at the Lahti factory on the 4th of October 2023 as part of the “Tervetuloa meille” (= “Welcome to visit us”) theme week of the Association for Finnish Work. . 

Airam is a member of the Association for Finnish Work. Some luminary manufactured in Lahti bear the Key Flag Symbol to indicate that the product is made in Finland. Our SaunaLed  luminaries carry the Design from Finland label to indicate the Finnish design of the products. 

Airam’s logistics centre and head office are located in Kerava. We work with local associations and the municipality of Kerava on projects and events that are in line with our values.

Sponsorship and charity 

Airam’s sponsorship and charity principles are based on our values and mission. We focus our support on our long-standing partners, the Cancer Foundation Finland’s Pink Ribbon campaign and MIELI Mental Health Finland. We also support good causes in the form of product donations to specific purposes.
