Throughout the spring, our teams in Finland have been actively participating in initiatives that combine physical activity with charity. These events have highlighted the importance of teamwork and community spirit while supporting vital local causes.
To foster this healthy, collaborative environment, a new employee running group was recently established. Colleagues now gather once a week after working hours for a group run, helping everyone stay active and connected.
Scoring Goals for Mental Health Awareness
In late May, our team hosted an annual charity football tournament for the second consecutive year. The event brought together internal teams and project partners for two evenings of friendly rivalry and strong team spirit.
While the competition on the pitch was intense, the tournament’s greatest achievement was its impact off the field. The event served as a fundraiser for a local organization providing accessible mental health services within the community.
Thanks to generous donations from participants and a charity raffle, the tournament raised a total of €6,735 for the cause. Beyond the fundraising success, the event strengthened professional relationships and reinforced the collaborative spirit essential to our projects.
Braving the Elements for Youth Wellness
Additionally, members of our Finland team laced up their running shoes for a corporate marathon relay. This nationwide initiative promotes physical activity among children and young people.
We entered two separate relay teams who combined forces to complete the full marathon distance. Despite challenging conditions and an unexpected summer downpour, our runners demonstrated incredible determination and resilience, supporting one another every step of the way.
Both of these initiatives reflect our ongoing commitment to wellbeing, physical activity, and community engagement. They demonstrate how collective effort can make a tangible difference, whether by supporting important local causes, strengthening relationships across project teams, or encouraging healthier lifestyles.
A massive thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, and donated to make these events a success!
