Elisa's mission is a sustainable future through digitalisation. Participating in social dialogue is important for us. We are engaged in persistent work towards the wellbeing of young people, in particular.
We support carefully selected targets. Our cooperation partners appeal to wide focus groups, are responsible and comply with Elisa's values whilst having natural links to our business. We always commit to long-term cooperation.
Every year, we donate the money that would otherwise be spent on Christmas cards to charity.
Right now, our thoughts and compassion are with the Ukrainians and we want to help those affected by the war in Ukraine. We will make every effort to ensure that refugees arriving from Ukraine to Finland can keep in touch with their loved ones and have given them thousands of prepaid subscriptions. We have also made a donation of EUR 50 000 to UNICEF, who on the spot will help Ukrainian children to survive in the midst of the war.
Since 2014, Elisa has been promoting the digital skills of Finnish children with Elisa Digischools. The main focus of the educational content has been on the basics of coding and programming. In digital schools, children aged 10–12 have been able to get to know robots, the Internet of Things and digitisation, among other things.
Elisa has supported young people especially against social marginalisation for several years. ShedHelsinki combines in a unique way the power of youth and diversity.
The best and most resource-saving way to extend the life of your phone is to refurbish and resell it in Finland. If the phone does not continue its journey from one family member to another, it is worth returning it to Elisa, for example, so that the phone can still be refurbished and resold at Fonum. We also recycle unusable old phones safely. We set up Luurit Looppiin initiative to promote circular economy.
In sports, we invest in team sports and the career paths of young up and coming athletes. Elisa is the main partner of Football Association Finland (FAF). Long-term cooperation partners include the Finnish national ice-hockey team and HIFK.
We have long-term cooperation with Helsinki Festival. Elisa plays an important role in enabling the largest multi-arts festival in the Nordic countries. Thanks to our fast 5G network, the best possible connections to the festival venues are ensured. We are involved in enabling a versatile urban culture, where technology also plays a key role.
Elisa has supported the Queen Silvia Nursing Award scholarship programme for several years. We participate in developing services and ensuring sustainable development in healthcare and for ageing people.
It is especially important for us to provide our employees with a safe space to be exactly what they are. We want to promote the well-being and cohesion of our employees every day.
Together with other operators, we have been involved in supporting Helsinki Pride for years.
Since 2017 Elisians have been able to participate in voluntary also during working hours. Our theme is promoting diversity and preventing social marginalisation. Everyone is given the opportunity to do a day of voluntary work.
Elisians have been involved in various operations with Hope Association and the Mannerheim League for Child Welfare, ShedHelsinki musical theatre, Pride Helsinki and Nenäpäivä events, and Children of the Station association.
