Dear Members, partners and friends,

We have the pleasure to hold our 6th edition of the CCFF HR committee on Monday, May 18, 2026, from 8:30 to 10:30 am at Outokumpu HQ (Salmisaarenranta 11, 00180 Helsinki). Outokumpu is a Finnish Global leader in sustainable stainless steel.

For this upcoming edition, we are preparing a discussion enriched with HR, legal and operational perspectives on “The Pay Transparency Directive navigating the Equal Pay“ - a topic gaining critical importance as upcoming regulations redefine organizational practices and transparency standards.

We are delighted to be warmly welcomed by Outokumpu and Kristel Welander. 

With extensive experience in global HR leadership, Kristel plays a key role in shaping Outokumpu’s people strategy, notably on pay topics. Her expertise in aligning talent management with business objectives brings valuable insight to today’s discussions on pay transparency and organizational transformation.
