Responsibility in Taito
The themes of responsibility touch the activities of the Finnish Crafts Organization in many ways. Values such as sustainable craftsmanship, repair, maintenance, preservation of skills and appreciation of work and transfer of knowledge are important to us. Throughout the organisation, we look at responsibility through four themes: cultural, ecological, social and economic responsibility.
Cultural responsibility
We value traditional crafts and craftspeople and respect our diverse cultural heritage.
Ecological responsibility
We advise and teach how to make appropriate, handcrafted products and guide them to long-lasting use.
Social responsibility
Crafts are a community activity that increases well-being and creates jobs.
Financial responsibility
Taito is the largest employer in the craft sector in Finland. The organisation employs over 250 person-years and nearly 1000 people.
Purchases of products and services from craft entrepreneurs have a direct employment effect on craft entrepreneurs.
