HELSINKI, FINLAND -- The investment bank Carnegie awards companies for their sustainability work, wanting to highlight sustainability metrics to inspire companies and investors.

Vaisala has announced that it has received the Carnegie Sustainability Award 2022 in the category for Small Cap companies. According to the company, the award acknowledges both sustainable business practices and the positive handprint of the business, generated by their products.

"With progressing climate change, Vaisala's products will be critical to monitor more extreme weather and environmental changes. The company is acknowledged for its strong company culture and high ethical standards," Carnegie has explained the reasoning behind the award in its press release.

"In Vaisala, sustainability is at the heart of the business and I believe that I speak for all our employees when I say that this is why we are so proud to work for Vaisala. There is an urgent need for companies to act and align their strategies to solve the greatest environmental challenges of our planet. It is no longer only about decreasing the footprint but even more importantly about increasing the positive impact of the business itself," commented Kai Ã-istämö, President and CEO at Vaisala.

"I also want to take this opportunity to give my warmest congratulations to the other winners SCA and OX2 as well! It is essential that climate change, as the most pressing sustainability challenge of our planet, is increasingly recognized in these awards, encouraging businesses to continuously improve. It is no longer an option for any company wanting to succeed to stay out of the game and ignore its impact," Ã-istämö concludes.
