Abstract

Metropolia University of Applied Sciences is committed to promoting diversity, equality and equal opportunities and to preventing discrimination in all of its activities. The planning of the equality and non-discrimination is steered by statutory obligations, the Act on Equality between Women and Men (609/1986), as amended in (1329/2014) and the Non-discrimination Act (1325/2014)). Metropolia is committed to promoting equal opportunities for all its members to learn, develop, participate and have an influence within the university of applied sciences community.

Metropolia’s equality and non-discrimination plan is based on Metropolia’s joint values, strategic goals and ethical principles, taking into account the degree regulations and rules of procedure.

Diversity themes are also covered. This publication has been created by Metropolia’s diversity and equality working group, and commented on by the occupational safety and health committee, cooperation committee, Management Group and numerous experts within the organisation.
