Cooperation projects and sponsoring

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.

We help the Ukrainians in need

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.

More than 2,000 children have studied in Elisa's Digischools

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.

Luurit looppiin - recycling initiative

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.

Supporting team sports and young athletes

In supporting sports, Elisa invests in team sports and the career paths of young, emerging athletes.
