"A summer job at Vaasan gave rise to a topic for my thesis. Together with my supervisor, we discussed what the topic could be. Responsibility is an important part of the strategy, so we started from there. It was interesting to be able to do my thesis for Vaasan."

The comprehensive well-being and competence development of the people of Vaasan are matters close to our hearts. We regularly organise training for our employees on topics such as occupational safety, supervisory work, self-management and baking technology. The foundation of well-being is built on occupational health care that covers more than the basic level and our well-being offering, which includes various tools, services and benefits (e.g. sports and culture benefits).

3. We bake Finns' favourite breads

We are proud of our long baking tradition and our roots. We have a competitive and constantly developing product range, which includes several long-time favorites, starting with Vaasan Ruispalot, as well as interesting novelties.

4. We have the heart of a small bakery, but the responsibility of a large bakery

We take responsibility for the climate and environmental impacts of our products from field to fork, and we have set measurable goals for this work in both the short and long term. Wholegrain bread, in particular, is a healthy and climate- and nature-friendly choice to fill a grumpy stomach now and in the future – as part of a planetary diet.
