Tokmanni establishes Sustainability Advisory Board to support its responsibility
work
Tokmanni has established a Sustainability Advisory Board to support its
responsibility work. The Advisory Board is composed of external experts and its
objective is to support Tokmanni in its responsibility work development by
giving the company an outside view of the company's responsibility performance
and responsibility topics such as trends, risks, and best practices. The
Advisory Board convenes twice a year and it will start its work in August 2017.
"Stakeholder cooperation and listening to our stakeholders is at the core of our
responsibility work. The established Advisory Board provides us with valuable
information about our stakeholders' expectations and how we best can respond to
them. Responsibility is at the core of our strategy and we have worked on the
matter for quite some time. The Board, which consists of many leading
sustainability experts will, however, give a boost to our responsibility work
and bring new ideas to our development work", says CEO Heikki Väänänen.
External Sustainability Advisory Board members are among others:
* Executive Director, Marja-Riitta Ketola, Finnish National Committee for
UNICEF
* Director, equities, Jan Lehtinen, Elo Mutual Pension Insurance Company
* Conservation Director, Jari Luukkonen, WWF Finland
* Corporate responsibility expert, LL.D., Merja Pentikäinen, Opinio Juris
* Executive Director, Janne Ronkainen, the Trade Union Solidarity Centre of

* Professor of Practice Armi Temmes, Aalto University, School of Business
"I am glad that we have been able to get front-line responsibility people
representing different sectors and issues as members of our Board. I believe
that we will have interesting discussions and we will get new ideas for
developing our responsibility work", says Tokmanni's Head of Corporate
Responsibility Outi Mikkonen.
Tokmanni wants to promote responsibility work together with its stakeholders.
