Puuinfo Oy has been awarded the right to use the Finnish Social Enterprise mark in recognition of successfully combining of commercial and social goals.

Social enterprises can work in any sector regardless of the form of the company. The Finnish Social Enterprise mark awarded by The Association for Finnish Work helps reliably identify these enterprises. The Finnish Social Enterprise mark can be held by companies that have been set up to solve social and environmental problems and dedicate most of their profits to this purpose. Demonstrating transparency and the openness of activities is also crucial.

“It feels good to have acknowledgement for Puuinfo as a company and for our services about the intentional nature of the activity. In our operations, we have focused on promotion of wood construction and use of wood that is important for the environment. This will help, among other things, work, livelihood and well-being throughout the country. It is good to continue on this road being a responsible spokesman for wood,” states Managing Director Mikko Viljakainen from Puuinfo.

“Finnish Social Enterprise activity provides a new perspective for considering the future of Finland’s welfare state. Companies awarded the Finnish Social Enterprise mark build society through good values,” states Brand Manager Niina Ollikka from The Association for Finnish Work. “These enterprises do good and share good.”
