WEST Invest Group develops its sustainability work by joining FIBS

WEST Invest Group has joined the sustainability network Finnish Business & Society association (FIBS). The decision to join is driven by the group’s desire to enhance its sustainability efforts and to contribute to promoting sustainable business practices in Finland. The membership also aims to increase the visibility of sustainability work to the group’s employees, customers, and other stakeholders.

“We are beginning to systematically develop our sustainability work. Through our FIBS membership, we gain support for our efforts and provide our organization with an opportunity to learn more about sustainability practices. The membership is a natural step on our journey,” says Nina Hedberg, Communications and Marketing Director at WEST Invest Group.

Today, sustainability criteria are prominently included in the decision-making process for water treatment, energy, and technology procurement for industrial and municipal customers. At WEST Invest Group, the development of a targeted sustainability program began in 2023.

“We need increasingly detailed information and understanding, not only about our operations but also about the entire supply chain, as our customers frequently inquire about this information for their own sustainability efforts. Conversely, in addition to our operations, the practices of our suppliers and subcontractors must also be an essential part of our sustainability program,” Hedberg states.

FIBS is the largest corporate responsibility network in the Nordic countries. The purpose is to accelerate responsibility changemakers towards more sustainable world. The network already includes over 400 companies and organizations. https://fibsry.fi/
