Corporate Responsibility
Juuri Partners is committed to operating as a responsible investor and owner. Our objective in corporate responsibility is to develop companies that are more valuable, growth-oriented, and responsible contributors to Finnish society.
Responsibility is integrated into Juuri Partners’ investment process, ownership agenda, and reporting. As an active owner, we can directly influence the sustainability issues of our portfolio companies. We systematically monitor and manage key sustainability factors that impact shareholder value and align these themes closely with the strategic goals of our portfolio companies.
Our commitment to responsibility is demonstrated through various actions across our portfolio companies. KAS-Telineet provides an example of how active ownership can lead to tangible improvements. The company decided to replace the traditionally used PVC plastic in weather protection products with a more environmentally friendly polypropylene. This change reduces the carbon footprint associated with production and enables efficient energy recovery at the end of the product’s lifecycle. This initiative shows how even targeted improvements can significantly benefit the environment while also enhancing cost efficiency.
Another newer example is Kamrock, which showcases how sustainability can guide product development and strengthen market positioning. Kamrock has developed gravel products that address biodiversity loss and reduce transportation emissions by offering a more sustainable, locally produced alternative to traditional gravel and aggregate materials. This innovation not only supports environmental goals but also reinforces Kamrock’s competitive advantage in markets where customers increasingly seek sustainable solutions.
Nitor, a technology services company, has also made notable strides in sustainable business practices. In 2023, Nitor conducted a comprehensive emission calculation covering all three scopes and ensured that all emissions were appropriately compensated. The achievement of WWF Green Office certification further underscores Nitor’s commitment to sustainability. The company has made responsibility a core part of its governance, employee onboarding, and client projects, positioning itself as a responsible actor in its sector.
These cases represent just a few examples of how Juuri Partners actively promotes responsible practices within its portfolio. We continue to explore new ways to enhance sustainability and create long-term value for our companies and the society in which we operate.
