Sanoma Sustainability Strategy

Our strategy consists of six main themes, designed to maximise our positive ‘brainprint’ on society and to minimise our environmental footprint.

Inclusive learning

We develop inclusive learning solutions that help all students to achieve their potential.

Sustainable media

We provide trusted Finnish journalism and inspiring entertainment, now and in the future.

Trustworthy data

We use the data you trust us with to make learning and media better.

Education is empowering people. It builds knowledge, capacities and confidence and opens up new opportunities for children and communities. We promote equal access to education for all students, especially in the ongoing digital transformation.
