Panostaja wants to be involved in building sustainable and vital companies that build a better society and future. We continued our active responsibility efforts in 2025. Promoting sustainable business is an essential part of the strategy of the company and each segment. Responsible business models play a key role in the value creation of the segments, and their significance will increase further in the future, as the sustainability requirements of the customers grow. Sustainability considerations will also be taken into account as part of the assessment of new investment targets. 

First CSRD sustainability report published

Panostaja published its first CSRD sustainability report based on 2025 data. The reporting is based on the EU’s joint ESRS sustainability reporting standards. The reporting used indicators selected based on a dual materiality analysis, which are central to examining the sustainability of Panostaja’s business operations. The indicators stem directly from the company’s operations and also steer the operations. 

In the report, Panostaja assessed both the impacts of its own operations on the environment and society and the financial impacts of sustainability-related factors on the company. The reporting covers environmental, social and governance-related (ESG) themes. The reporting supports Panostaja’s long-term value creation and responsible ownership. The first report laid the foundations for a set of consistent indicators and systematic data collection, which will be further developed. 

Across Panostaja’s companies, responsible efforts and their results are visible in day-to-day activities. For example, CoreHW has exceptionally high levels of job satisfaction and engagement as measured by the eNPS. Lenio’s eNPS has also been at a very goodlevel. Oscar Software switched to a new, carbon-neutral data center. The company also introduced anonymous recruitment. 

Sustainable business is evident in many areas

Panostaja is committed to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). In 2025, Panostaja issued reports based on the PRI specifications for the second time. The principles pertain to the consideration of environmental matters, social responsibility and corporate management methods in investment activities.  

Panostaja is developing its own processes based on these principles. Financial responsibility is ensured by responsibly guiding the capital, which has a positive impact on society. Strong financial management is at the core of building sustainable business. As regards social responsibility, Panostaja is examining the impacts of its operations on its personnel, value chain personnel and the communities impacted by Panostaja. The administrative dimension of responsibility manifests itself in Panostaja’s operations in the form of openness, transparency, zero tolerance for corruption and misconduct, and the promotion of an ethical and sustainable corporate culture. Environmental responsibility is ensured throughout the ownership period of the companies. Responsibility is assessed as part of the due diligence process as early as during the investment process. Panostaja considers environmental responsibility in the development of its segments and understands the impacts the use of its products and services have on the environment. 

Panostaja supports the responsibility efforts of its segments by funneling resources into it and training company employees on the relevant topics. The year 2025 involved active dialogue with stakeholders on responsibility, which has enabled forming an even more comprehensive picture of the impacts of Panostaja’s activities. The strong responsibility efforts for Panostaja and its segments will continue through 2026.
