Sustainability

Creating positive impact - every day

We impact the lives of millions of people every day. We work hard to equip the world with the highest-quality learning resources, independent media and local entertainment. We aim at creating better understanding for people, communities and businesses to develop and thrive.

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.

Independent media is essential in an open and democratic society. Freedom of expression should never be taken for granted. By delivering information, inspiration, entertainment and experiences, we increase awareness on different viewpoints, developments and lifestyles.

Our priority is to respect the privacy of our customers and users when using their data. Data empowers teachers to optimise teaching and students to receive personalised learning. With the data entrusted to us, we develop high-quality and personalised media. We use Artificial Intelligence (AI) responsibly and transparently.
