Tiivistelmä
This thesis was commissioned by Polar Partners Oy. The objective of this thesis was to research the current state of sustainability within Polar Partners as a company. The focus was on evaluating existing practices and identifying areas for improvement. The purpose of the thesis was to create the first suggestion for sustainability principles for the company in the form of Code of Conduct.
Qualitive research methods were utilized in this thesis. Focused interviews were conducted to gather comprehensive data for constructing a Triple Layered Business Model Canvas, which in turn formed the foundation for conducting a SWOT analysis. These two tools were instrumental in analysing the existing sustainability practices at the company. A diverse range of interviewees was selected from sales, project management and executive departments within the organization. In addition, the contents of four companies' Code of Conduct documents were analysed and compared through a benchmarking process. The theoretical section of the study focuses on sustainability, corporate responsibility, as well as the definition of the Code of Conduct.
Building upon the research findings, an initial version of the Code of Conduct document was formulated for the company.
