Visibility and information
I use my social media channels to inform about related events/events. I will mainly develop Facebook and Instagram, LinkedIn's role in informing is going to be more than before. The website will continue to be on my Johku-platform where I will add the responsibility page.
This blog page (https://punakettu.blogspot.com/p/vastuullisuus.html) will be a compilation page where I will collect stories about how responsibility is reflected in our operations. I put the links to the stories at the end of this page, the links are directed either to the writing of this blog, FB or IG or LinkedIn posts.
For the nature and smart action in the nature,
best regards, Eppu / RedFox
