ABOUT US
Nature mission and responsibility
We care about our employees, customers and nature. We carry our social responsibility and want to do good. Our unique nature mission has become an increasingly important part of our day-to-day work.
Our nature mission is to mitigate climate change, increase natural carbon sinks and maintain the diversity of our unique nature. We spend 50% of our company’s profits in fulfilling our nature mission.
Over the past decades, we have used our company’s profits to acquire more than 5,000 hectares of forest land under this mission.
Of these areas, we’ve transferred a total of 1450 hectares in primeval forest and valuable subjects in terms of nature diversity into permanent protection.
In addition, we have restored over 500 hectares of restored peat production lands into wetlands and 400 hectares of bogs and drainage areas. The remaining 2650 hectares of forest are used for organic forestry avoiding logging, which improves forest diversity and strengthens carbon sequestration. At the same time, we provide habitat for many endangered species.
Each year we ease birds’ chronic habitation shortage by providing 1000 new accommodations. The birdhouses are built by Mokia Ry, who actively works on rehabilitation activity. The birds’ new houses are installed across Finland by local environment practitioners.
In addition, we’ve funded hundreds of thousands of euros for the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation’s sanctuary acquisitions. We also support research and development work that advances nature’s diversity and carbon binding.
Our nature mission’s background force lies in our Group’s founder and member of the board, Timo Kujala. He was also the biggest donator in the “My nature gift for a hundred-year-old Finland” campaign, securing 600 hectares of his forests.
In recognition of our nature mission’s restoration projects, the construction of wetlands, and the protection of valuable forests, the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation has awarded Timo Kujala an environmental award.

Business principles, environmental responsibility and charity
In addition to our nature mission, we strive to be as responsible as possible in our day-to-day work.
Reliability, honesty, open competition, and compliance with the law are our core values. We invest in long-term relationships with our clients, with mutual success as our driving goal.
We choose our technology partners carefully and ensure that we act in harmony with international agreements and human rights. We are a neutral Finnish company that pays taxes in Finland, and our owners work within the company. We produce the majority of our services ourselves and use carefully selected subcontractors.
We value equality and actively work to prevent discrimination in our community. We provide a safe and healthy working environment for our employees and respect their fundamental rights.
Alongside our nature mission, we have made various efforts throughout the company to address our environmental impact. We optimize technology purchases and equipment lifecycles to the maximum.
We recycle our own and our customers’ old technology appropriately. For some old equipment, we enable reuse by donating it to OUBS ry (Otaniemi Underground Broadcasting System).
Every year, we donate tens of thousands of euros of our profits to charity.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have about our nature mission and commitment to responsibility.
