🥊💛 GettoGym is so much more than a place to throw punches. It’s a space where young people learn the art of self-control, discipline, and channeling their inner struggles into growth. Behind the gym doors in Vantaa, real life happens—aggression is met with empathy, and discipline with love. This isn't about teaching kids to fight, but to face life with resilience and courage. Proud to support an initiative that turns challenges into opportunities for transformation. 👏 Check out the inspiring documentary on Yle here: https://lnkd.in/dRjJTGd5

Finnish forest industry companies have understood the business risks of nature loss, writes eminent business magazine Forbes. Forest industry companies Metsä Group, UPM and Stora Enso look for balance between business activity and looking after biodiversity, the international business magazine Forbes writes in a recent article. The article mentions that the forest industry company UPM participates in projects to conserve the red squirrel and the white-backed woodpecker, for example. Forbes notes that UPM’s competitor Stora Enso focuses on sparing and increasing deadwood in forests, and on growing birch, which will increase the share of broadleaves in forests and so improve biodiversity. While both UPM and Stora Enso protect valuable nature sites and give funding to nature projects, the Forbes article focuses on Metsä Group. Metsä Group manages a forest property of 5.5 million hectares, and one of the company’s principal aims is to support biodiversity, Forbes writes. The European Union and its member states have committed to setting biodiversity on the road to recovery by 2030. The company has started a project focusing on restoring species habitats in industrial environments. The first site to be improved is the new bioproduct mill in Kemi, northern Finland, where over 600 hectares will be restored with support from the company. https://lnkd.in/dDNFRBh7

CEO Martin Lindqvist in the financial report for Q2 2024: “SSAB’s operating result for the second quarter of 2024 amounted to SEK 2,969 million, compared to SEK 4,963 million in 2023. The decrease compared to a year earlier was primarily due to lower US heavy plate prices. The market in Europe continued to be relatively weak, whereas the market for high-strength steel was more resilient. Compared to the first quarter, the operating result was somewhat lower, whereas operating cash flow increased by more than SEK 1 billion.” Read more ➡ https://lnkd.in/eg75g2QQ #Q2 #Q2report

71 % of Finns, Swedes, Norwegians, and Danes still prefer to use surface cleaning agents or disinfectants in public spaces, when those are available. In addition, 62 % say that having hand disinfectant available in public spaces gives the sense of safety. 🤲✨ This is a clear indication of surface and hand disinfectants still being an important aspect of the atmosphere and comfort of public spaces, even though the pandemic no longer affects us the way it did in 2020. With the upcoming holiday season, marked by increased travel, gift shopping, and festive dining, offering disinfectant to visitors can enhance their overall experience. We have conducted hygiene habit surveys in the Nordics in 2020, 2022, and 2024 to understand how consumers’ hygiene habits have changed due to COVID-19. 🧼 While the importance of diligent personal hygiene seems to have lowered slightly during these years, the pandemic has changed the way we behave. In addition to opting for disinfectants in public spaces, consumers also reported washing hands more frequently and remembering better to cough and sneeze into their sleeves. 🔗 Read more about the survey on kiilto.com: https://lnkd.in/dAnfbCFt #HandHygiene #HandDisinfection #HygieneHabits

📈 This week, I had the pleasure of giving a talk to a business development network at Västsvenska Handelskammaren, by gracious invitation of Frida Lundgren, the Marketing Manager of Forbo Flooring Systems. 🤷‍♀️ The topic of my presentation was "How to succeed with sustainable and circular business innovation". It's a hard topic, and the "how to" does not have a straightforward answer. I really enjoyed the discussion and the many great perspectives brought by the audience - a truly diverse crew from all corners of business! I'm also humbled by the courage shown by the participants. Talking about how to change perspectives and get on with a sustainable transition is one thing. Actually doing it is another thing entirely! 💡 Some key takeaways from this session: >> Organizations achieving the best momentum combine a "BHAG" (big, hairy, audacious goal) - a moonshot initiative - with a breakdown to very tangible, smaller projects, where the first one can be started today >> However, success cases are still few and far between, so we must learn from several sources and be prepared to take on some risk and scary uncertainty to get things moving >> The best way of getting started is to get started! There's never going to be a perfect timing to start transforming. Just get going!

FlexCare Showcased in Partner Showroom for Potential Finnish Customers. Yesterday, a new FlexCare user interface was successfully installed at a potential partner's showroom (not yet officially announced😉). This installation served as the centerpiece of a demonstration for a prospective Finnish hospital client. The updated FlexCare patient platform, introduced during the demonstration, is specifically designed to address the diverse needs of three key hospital departments: the Intensive Care Unit #ICU, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease #COPD wards, and Phoniatric Outpatient Clinics #POC. The FlexCare user interface functions as an advanced communication tool between patients and healthcare professionals, while also offering features that empower patients to actively participate in their healthcare journey, plus numbers of entertainments. FlexCare's adaptability allows it to be tailored to various medical environments. For example, in pediatric and adolescent wards, the platform includes features to support parents, providing them with resources to assist their children throughout the hospital stay and in discharge planning, ensuring continued care at home. STEVN Technologies AB is proud to represent PowerNet FlexCare in #Finland, #Norway, and #Sweden. Our comprehensive solutions include seamless integration with essential applications that enhance the FlexCare platform’s functionality. #FlexCare has already been deployed in over 50% of #Danish_hospitals, with additional installations in progress.

Metsä Group has committed to the Circular Economy Green Deal, setting commitments to actions and concrete targets for 2035 that promote a low-carbon circular economy. We will focus (as a group) on these targets and actions: 💚 The commercialisation of 3+ new products based on our industrial side streams, like lignin, bark, and biogenic CO₂, thus creating sustainable materials for industries like construction, agriculture, and cosmetics. 💚 Reducing production of bioenergy by 1,000 GWh, shifting towards non-combustion energy solutions and maximising the value of wood resources. 💚 Working with startups, academic partners, and industry leaders to drive the future of circularity and new sustainable materials. For example, Metsä Spring has so far invested in six startups, four of which process Metsä Group's side streams into added value products. ”Utilizing our side streams in new products together with partners is at the core of our circular economy work. Commercialization makes the benefits for nature and society tangible”, summarizes Ilkka Hämälä, President and CEO of Metsä Group.
