“In September 2016, the EK, the Corporate Responsibility
Network FIBS and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs will jointly
organise a discussion event to increase awareness of what the
United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and targets
mean for Finnish companies and business. The corporate
responsibility network FIBS assists companies in identifying, managing
and leveraging the impacts of their business on biodiversity and
climate. The FiBS’ diversity network promotes equal
opportunities and non-discrimination in working life. Its human
rights, social impact and Agenda 2030 training programmes
support the activities of Finnish companies with respect to
developing countries.”
