As part of the implementation of Amcham Finland’s FDI Vision Report published in 2021, an Environmental Permitting and Red Tape impact group was set up to identify the key shortcomings of the Finnish environmental licensing system and to look at how to solve them without compromising the level of environmental and biodiversity protection.

The concrete recommendations that will increase regulatory certainty, transparency and predictability, were published on the 13^th of June 2022. We thank the chair of our impact group Casper Herler, Managing Partner at Borenius and the members of the group for their commitment and leadership.
