Consumers have once again chosen Elovena® as Finland's most sustainable brand according to the Sustainable Brand Index. The study maps Finns' perceptions of brand sustainability.

Elovena brand's sustainabiity actions are part of Raisio Group's long-term sustainability work. Raisio Good Food program, with its focus on concrete sustainability actions, takes into account human health, the environmental impact of production, and examines the sustainability of our products throughout the value chain, from ingredients through production to consumers' plates.

The Sustainable Brand Index measurement does not directly take a position on the actual sustainabiilty of brands - the study examines Finns' perceptions of brand sustainability.

"For Elovena brand, sustainability means that you can always choose Elovena products with a good conscience and trust in making a good choice. For us who work daily with this brand, success in this study shows that people have huge expectations of Elovena sustainability. This inspires us to continue our daily work promoting domestic, sustainable food chain," comments Mervi Nieminen, Marketing Manager at Elovena & local heroes.

Finnish oats sustainably, with decades of experience

At the heart of Elovena products are healthy and tasty oats, which we source directly from contract farms in southwestern Finland and Pirkanmaa in Central Finland. We have worked closely with Finnish farmers for over 80 years, and many farms have been our contract farmers for several generations. Our environmental goals include promoting sustainable farming, which helps us to collect data for carbon footprint calculations of our raw materials and reducing environmental impact.

In production, environmental actions are also part of our everyday work. All of our factories have operated with carbon-neutral energy since December 2023. In 2022, we also started calculating Raisio's indirect carbon dioxide emissions (Scope 3 calculations) and working to reduce emissions in the value chain.

In our product range, we have reacted to the growing demand of sustainable and healthy, plant-based products by introducing in stores our delicious oat products produced at our Raisio factory. Elovena Oat Drinks, Oat Gurts, Puddings and Snack Drinks encourage great tasting, plant-based eating that is good for your health and the environment. All Elovena product packaging is recyclable.
