The Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission - Helsinki Commission (HELCOM) is an intergovernmental organization dedicated to protecting the environment of the Baltic Sea. Its Contracting Parties are Denmark, Estonia, the European Union, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Sweden.

The HELCOM Secretariat, which supports this mission, is located in Helsinki, Finland. Our team consists of approximately 50 staff members. We work in an open, friendly, dynamic, and fast-paced international environment, where English is the official working language. At HELCOM, we foster a collaborative and inclusive atmosphere, offering all staff members the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to achieving our common goals. For more information about HELCOM, please visit our home page at www.helcom.fi.

HELCOM collects data on the Baltic Sea environment reported by HELCOM Contracting Parties into thematic databases, on topics as widely varied as the number of illegal oil discharges or the blubber thickness of seals. The data is made available for several different user groups, and interoperability with other European and global databases is important. The data collected for HELCOM is used for regular assessments of the status of the Baltic Sea environment (https://stateofthebalticsea.helcom.fi/), and are the evidence base for developing new policies and implementing the Baltic Sea Action Plan (https://helcom.fi/baltic-sea-action-plan/).
