Sustainability and responsibility
The aim of sustainable development is to safeguard a good standard of living for future generations, too. Sustainable development is generally divided into three areas:
- ecological
- financial
- social and cultural
We have made a commitment to sustainable development measures, which is in line with the objectives of the UN’s Agenda 2030, Finland's social contract (Society’s Commitment to Sustainable Development), the Finnish Ministry of the Interior's commitment to sustainable development measures, the roadmap for reducing the police's carbon footprint and the program for the sustainable development and responsibility of universities of applied sciences.
Commitment to sustainable development measures

The police has prepared a roadmap to reduce its carbon footprint. The Police University College commits itself to promoting the objectives of the police roadmap. We take part in carbon footprint calculation by the Ministry of the Interior. Our aim is to increase the proportion of online education included in degree education to 20%, to 10% in specialist studies for police sergeants, and to 5% in continuing education by 2022.
We plan and implement personnel competence mapping. We organise training and support for personnel and students.
The Police University College (Polamk) has launched a project intended to promote the admission of people from different backgrounds into police studies, support recruitment at police departments, and promote the ability of police units, including Polamk, to welcome and support employees from a diverse range of backgrounds.
We follow the gender distribution of those applying for and selected for police leadership and management education. We will make a recruitment plan for the Master of Police education and Specialisation studies for police seargeants.
We are involved in the joint work of universities of applied sciences with the aim of developing the sustainable development and responsibility expertise of personnel.
Together with other universities of applied sciences, we participate in the setting of common learning outcomes for sustainable development, and these are utilised in our curriculum work in degree and continuing education.
In 2019, the police ratified its ethical code for the police, which was based on the organization’s values and strategy. In addition, we at the Police University College have prepared a code of community in collaboration with Polamk students and staff. We highlight the importance of ethics and a focus on cooperation in all our activities.
