Peer supporters have been building positive school spirit and a culture against bullying in Finnish secondary schools for over 50 years. In 2024, MLL Southeast Finland expanded the program to elementary schools in the Kouvola region. Now the initiative is also starting in Lappeenranta, where the first elementary school peer supporters will begin at Kimpinen and Joutseno schools at the start of the next school year. And Laitex is proud to support this initiative.

Elementary school peer support focuses on strengthening community spirit and preventing loneliness, while also helping to prevent bullying at an early stage. The two-school pilot is carried out in cooperation with the City of Lappeenranta’s education services.

Experiences gathered during the 2026–2027 pilot school year will help develop the program further, with the goal of expanding elementary school peer support to all schools in the Lappeenranta area.

Training for the first elementary school peer supporters and their instructors in Lappeenranta will begin in spring 2026.

For us, being local means taking action. We are proud to support MLL Southeast Finland in creating a fairer and safer everyday life for children.

Flow Must Go On. Dreams Must Go On.

Laitex has been selected as an Exemplary Employer of the Year by the SAK (The Central Organization of Finnish Trade Unions) Southeast Finland Regional Committee. The recognition is based on how we work together with our people and take care of our employees in everyday work, also during times of change.

The selection highlighted, for example:

• open and trust-based cooperation with employee representatives
• strong focus on safety and wellbeing
• an equal and fair workplace culture
• responsible operations and job creation in the region

We are very proud of this recognition. A big thank you to the entire Laitex team, this is your achievement. 

The occasion also marked a special moment, as we celebrated a traditional “overalls hanging” ceremony for Arto Partanen, who will retire in 2026. His long career, commitment, and expertise are a true reflection of the culture behind this recognition.

Flow Must Go On.

Laitex has long been committed to climate action and sustainable operations. We joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) on this journey. We set bold emissions reduction targets based on the latest climate science.

This year, the SBTi hit a big milestone: 10,000 companies now have validated science-based climate targets. This shows a strong push for credible, science-aligned climate action in the corporate world.

SBTi validation shows that a company’s emissions reduction targets match goals to limit global warming. This helps support the shift to a net-zero economy. The initiative’s framework is recognized globally as a reliable standard for reducing emissions and ensuring accountability.

Laitex’s Climate Commitment

Laitex Oy is taking a science-based approach to climate action. We aim to cut Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2023 as our base year. Also, we will measure and reduce Scope 3 emissions.

We aim to lower our environmental footprint. We’re also supporting innovation, efficiency, and resilience through these targets. Setting and validating science-based targets is key to our sustainability strategy. We continue to integrate climate factors into our business choices.

A Milestone for Corporate Climate Action

The SBTi announced that 10,000 companies have set science-based targets. This marks a big change in how companies approach sustainability. These companies come from various sectors and regions. They show that climate action is now a vital part of long-term business planning.

At Laitex, we’re proud to join this global effort. We work together for a lower-carbon future. Our solutions help keep industries moving sustainably, keeping the promise:

Flow Must Go On.

Laitex is proud to support Alisa on her journey towards new dreams.

Together, we go further, because
