Social
Uniogen supports the Sustainable Development Goals.
OUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We have developed the Uniogen company values collaboratively with employees. We aim to reflect the values in daily interactions with customers, partners and colleagues. Regular employee surveys measure the fulfillment of our values, which are reviewed and updated when needed.
We aim to create long-term employment and engage our employees by investing in working conditions, benefits, opportunities for personal development, and work flexibility in all stages of employees’ lives. We value diverse work communities, regardless of employees’ professional or personal backgrounds.
MEANINGFUL COLLABORATIONS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Our responsibilities extend beyond the lab and production procedures. Uniogen actively participates in trade fairs and events for community outreach, education programs, and partnerships with universities and student organizations to improve public health outcomes and encourage scientific research and education. Our collaboration with local student organizations includes events, visits, and sponsorships, for example.
We aim to annually provide summer jobs, internships, and thesis work possibilities to collaborate with students and support them with their career goals.
STAFF POLICY
We consider employees’ expectations in operational decisions. Uniogen employees have access to comprehensive occupational health services, with a focus on preventive measures to ensure their well-being.
OUR WAYS TO PROMOTE EMPLOYEE WELLBEING
- Investing in work ergonomics

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Our dedication to improving health and life begins internally with our team. We provide a diverse and inclusive workplace where professional growth is encouraged, and well-being is prioritized. We uphold strict safety standards in the laboratories and facilities to protect our staff as they work on the front lines of disease research and development.
