Values

Sustainable​ and fair​

Kuopio takes responsibility for the environment, people and finances.

We assess the impact of our decisions in the long term – this is to ensure that Kuopio will also thrive in the hands of future generations.

We act fairly and transparently. We are honest about difficult issues, and we correct our mistakes as necessary.

Confident and solution-oriented​

The Kuopio way of doing things is unique in its simplicity: we do things with care and professional pride, but we are not stiff or pretentious.

We focus on solutions rather than problems. We dare to seek creative ways to respond to the challenges posed by our changing operating environment. We work as one big team to benefit Kuopio and its residents.

Community-powered​ and lovable​

Kuopio is a lovable and warm-hearted community where caring, warmth and a twinkle in the eye are evident in daily encounters. In Kuopio, everyone can feel like they belong and matter – to thrive and shine just like they are.

We live in harmony with both nature and people. We provide opportunities for our residents to encounter each other and engage in community activities. Together, we strengthen each other’s vitality!
