Charity and
sponsorship policy
The focus in our donations has
been on the well-being of
children and young people.
Every year, we donate money to charities that we consider to
be socially important. Over the past few years, our support
has been focused on the well-being of children and youths. In
our sponsorship work, we support causes that help promote
our business operations.
In accordance with our charity and sponsorship policy, we do not
donate money to political parties, politicians or political institutions.
In 2016, Finavia spent a total of about 41,000 (54,000) euros on
charity and sponsorships.
In total, Finavia donated 4,500 (3,000) euros to charity in 2016.
In Finland, Finavia supported families with children by taking part
in the Good Christmas Cheer campaign, organised by the Finnish
Red Cross and the Mannerheim League for Child Welfare. We also
donated money to children in developing countries through the
Plan International Finland Foundation.
Finavia and the Plan International Finland Foundation started
cooperating in 2009 and by the end of 2016, they had collected
more than 200,000 euros for children in developing countries
through a joint fundraising effort at airports. Passengers can take
part in the fundraising effort by putting money into the Pastille collection
boxes or by putting empty bottles and cans in the collection
receptacles at the airport security control. A total of 47,000
euros was raised in this manner during 2016.
Selection of projects for sponsorship is based on the principle
of reciprocity. In other words, we expect to be able to use the
cooperation in other stakeholder relations and the sponsorship
should also create media visibility. Sponsorship cooperation with
the World Cup Levi event continued.
