Foreword from our Country Managing Partner
As the Country Managing Partner at EY Finland, I am proud to present our annual EY Value Realized: Finland report. This report covers the fiscal year 2025 (FY25) at EY Finland ranging from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.
This report provides an in-depth account of our value creation model, strategic initiatives, and sustainability efforts. Our core values guide our diverse workforce of 1200 employees across 17 offices in Finland, driving growth and building stakeholder trust.
This year we continued driving our global “All in” strategy with an attitude that demonstrates commitment to each other. Our tagline, Shape the future with confidence, guides our commitment to helping clients navigate emerging challenges and opportunities as partners on their journey. It also highlights our commitment to our employees to help shape their future career development and expertise.
Looking back at FY25, the most notable highlights were the successes with our clients and business on many fronts. Our people are our most valuable asset, and their wellbeing is the cornerstone of our social sustainability efforts. We are proud that 73% of EY employees agree that they have an exceptional experience working at EY. Our dedication to gender equality is reflected in the equal ratio of women and men in the organization with 45% of our people in leadership positions from manager roles and above being women. Building Inclusiveness for All is an important strategic theme, and we continued to make conscious efforts to promote inclusion, starting from recruiting to celebrating the uniqueness and diversity of backgrounds, ideas, and thinking among our people.
At EY, we believe that sustainability is everyone’s responsibility. It is a critical topic for many of our clients, and we are well positioned to support them in their sustainability journey as well as in how we conduct our own business. We have made progress in reducing the emissions from our operations, and while we did not meet the goals set in EY’s environmental strategy FY19-FY25, we will continue our efforts in the next years to reach EY global goals to halve our carbon emissions by 2030. We believe in transparency and report on over 70 sustainability metrics in this report to show our progress on various topics. Through our corporate responsibility program EY ripples, over 250 EY employees shared their expertise with non-profit organizations, universities, and other important societal actors to create an impact reaching 20 000 stakeholders lives in Finland.
We will continue to invest in our people to establish ourselves as an industry leader, driving sustainable growth and generating lasting value for all our stakeholders.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
Sincerely,
Mikko Äijälä
Country Managing Partner, EY Finland
