Our values form a foundation for all our actions and co-operation with customers, suppliers, employees and shareholders. Customer focus, innovation, collaboration, accountability and care come alive in our everyday decisions. We are committed to continuously challenge ourselves to operate more sustainably, including all the aspects of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) issues.
In our everyday lives, we come across with many ALD technology implementations such as in smartphones, solar panels, Li-ion batteries and medical appliances. But this is just the beginning. By co-operating closely with leading industry players and scientific researchers, Picosun enables its clients to broaden the spectrum of products and industries where ALD can be applied. The technology we produce is not visible by eye but has a key role in solving customers’ challenges and prolonging products life cycle.
In addition to paying attention to environmental aspects in our every-day operations, Picosun enables development of new products and solutions that play a key role in tackling climate change. By replacing polluting or resource-intensive technologies, ALD is an essential technology in reducing energy and raw material consumption and negative climate footprint in multiple industries around the globe. With ALD technology, hazardous substances such as chrome or lead can also be replaced.
We could not stay at the forefront of the development without our highly qualified team. Therefore, we want to hire the best talents and we are proud of our success in building a top skilled, diverse and multinational team. Likewise, at the board level, we want to embrace its expertise, diversity and independence. While setting high code of conduct standards for ourselves, we also set them for our suppliers.
