The Finnish Hockey Federation strives to promote responsible sports and physical activity in all its activities. The activities of the Finnish Hockey Association are based on the ethical values of physical activity and the principles of the Fair Game of Sport, which include respect for and equal treatment of other people, honesty, openness, fairness, democracy, promotion of health and well-being, responsible education, and sustainable development and respect for nature.
The Federation's competitive activities are governed by the ideals and goals and ethical values of the Sport Fair Game adopted by the Olympic Committee in 2018. All persons participating in the Federation's competitive activities undertake to adhere to these ideals and goals for their part.
To support the activities, the Federation has drawn up an equality plan, an environmental responsibility plan, an anti-doping programme and a programme to combat competition manipulation.
