Responsibility

Responsibility is part of good governance and an operating culture grounded in the values of the Financial Stability Authority (FFSA). According to legislation, the operations of the FFSA must be organised in such a way that its independence and impartiality are safeguarded in the performance of its tasks. 

Everyone working at the FFSA must comply with the Authority’s ethical guidelines in all their activities. The purpose of the guidelines is to ensure the independence and impartiality of FFSA employees and an ethically high standard of operation.

In addition, representatives of the FFSA are bound by the code of ethics for the members of the Single Resolution Board (SRB) plenary session and the code of ethics for the members of the Resolution Committees of the European Banking Authority (EBA) and of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) when they participate in their operations.

Responsibility reporting and monitoring related to sustainable development

Monitoring related to responsibility and sustainable development began at the Financial Stability Authority (FFSA) in 2021 by identifying the UN Sustainable Development Goals that are relevant from the perspective of the resolution and deposit guarantee authority. The targets and indicators to be monitored were selected at the beginning of 2022 when the FFSA prepared its first sustainability report. The achievement of the goals has been assessed, and the goals have been specified annually as necessary. 

FFSA has published its sustainability report in 2021–224 in accordance with the State Treasury’s guideline “Sustainability reporting in central government” (VK/3503/2024). 

In line with the policy on central government savings measures and streamlining reporting by the Government’s Cabinet Committee on Economic Policy, the State Treasury instructed in December 2025 that central government sustainability reporting in its current form at agency level will be discontinued. Therefore, the FFSA’s sustainability report for 2024 will be the final summary of the FFSA’s responsibility efforts for the time being. 

Nevertheless, we will continue to promote our responsibility principles in our daily work as a national resolution and deposit guarantee authority and as the administrator of the national security of supply account system established in summer 2022.
