Finnfund adapts its operations to protect staff and ensure continuity of business

Over the past weeks Finnfund has taken increasing measures to protect its staff and partners from the COVID-19 virus while securing the continuity of its business operations. We have limited all physical contacts to the very minimum and conduct our work and meetings online.

As a responsible impact investor and development financier we have made sure we can deliver on our commitments to our investee companies. In line with our vision of being a respected partner, we will work closely together with our investee companies, co-financiers and other stakeholders to find the best ways to deal with the current situation.
