Social enterprise Cooperative Uurot

Osuuskunta Uurto – Cooperative Uurto, among other social enterprises, has been established to promote a social goal and most of its profits are directed to advance social good. The cooperative operates to tackle the mismatching demand and supply in the labour market, as well as to enhance social integration. Uurto holds The Finnish Social Enterprise Mark, which was already awarded to the cooperative during its foundation stage. According to the Association for Finnish Work, to receive the Finnish Social Enterprise Mark, a company needs to show a turnover from at least one financial period. However, in the case of Uurto, customer- and environment-oriented and Corporate Social Responsibility values at the cooperative’s core led to the awarding of the mark in 2018.
