National Emergency Supply Agency sectors and pools

Berner is included in several National Emergency Supply Agency sectors and pools, through which the continuity management and security of supply of society is maintained. Berner is part of the primary production pool in the food service sector, the healthcare pool in the healthcare sector and the chemicals pool in the industrial sector. We work with societally important products and as a company we also want to take responsibility for their functioning during crises or exceptional situations.

HELSINKIMISSIO AND BSAG

Berner has been supporting HelsinkiMissio as well as the protection of the Baltic Sea through BSAG. HelsinkiMissio’s three-year School to Belong program helps school communities recognize and alleviate the loneliness experienced by young people and provides tools to address loneliness. The program makes reducing loneliness a shared responsibility for the entire school. It employs methods that have been proven most effective in international studies: effective early intervention, skills training, changing the attitude climate, and correcting cognitive distortions that sustain loneliness.
