Finnfund’s strategy 2022 – 2025

In December 2021, Finnfund’s Board of Directors approved a new strategy, setting operational guidelines until 2025.

The strategy states that Finnfund’s mission is to build a sustainable future and generate lasting impact by investing in businesses that solve global development challenges. Our vision is that people and planet are at the core of every investment decision.

Finnfund emphasises those sectors that matter for sustainable development, such as renewable energy, sustainable forestry, sustainable agriculture, financial institutions, and digital infrastructure and solutions. The company can also invest in other sectors.
