Sustainable development means leaving future generations as much opportunity as we have had, if not more.

Visoko helps to promote sustainable development
Climate change and the depletion of natural resources, as well as the loss of biodiversity, are the greatest global threats of our time. For this reason, nature and the earth can be considered a significant stakeholder in companies. In a world, the pace of change is getting fiercer and more unpredictable. It is important for companies to identify social phenomena and the factors that affect their operations. Climate change is a megatrend that acts as an accelerator for corporate responsibility work. Companies can act as solvers by producing sustainable products and services that have the least impact on the environment. (Koipijärvi & Kuvaja, 2017)
New types of indicators are needed, e.g. to assess the actual environmental impact of the business and also allows for so-called "nature accounting", in which the environmental impact is included in the balance sheet. In the future, therefore, it is hoped that the environmental impact will no longer be outsourced in the same way as it is today. The transition requires not only new innovations, new knowledge and a new way of thinking, but also strong political and economic guidance. In companies, it means integrating financial and responsibility data and foresight into practice.
Visoko helps companies and organizations of all sizes move towards a more sustainable corporate culture and operating model. It is done digitally using agile methods, focusing on sustainable growth and development and future´s foresight projects.

FROM MAN TO PERSON – FROM COMPANY TO COMPANY – VISOKO AS A RESPONSIBLE OPERATOR
We are committed to promoting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (2030 Agenda). We have identified objectives that are relevant to our operations and stakeholders that we can particularly influence.
We look at our operations from the perspective of environmental responsibility, social responsibility and financial responsibility.
We have drawn up a sustainability programme for Visoko until 2026. We have also signed the Commitment 2050 commitment. This is a programme of the Finnish Government, whose commitments to measures are committed to promoting the realisation of the objectives of the social commitment. They aim at concrete actions and changes within a few years that will contribute to commonly agreed objectives. Actors are committed to promoting sustainable development in all their work and activities through concrete actions.
