As we approach the festive season, it’s time to reflect on the past year and cherish the moments with our loved ones. This year, in the spirit of giving and community, we have extended our support to Mieli Mental Health Finland and the Christmas Spirit Campaign. We are also happy to share that our employees have retaken part in the Joulupuu campaign, helping children and young people.

Thank you for your trust and partnership over the past year. We look forward to another successful year ahead.

Wishing you a warm and joyful holiday season!
