This is how we work
In addition to our strategic guidelines, our activities are guided by jointly agreed values and principles.

The Code of Conduct derived from these values defines a common set of rules, according to which every person in our community must act. Metropolia's equality and equity work is based on the shared values and strategic goals of Metropolia.
