Our Goals
Environment and Circular Economy
The green transition is not just a necessity: it is also a huge opportunity. The circular economy transition and the securing of biodiversity must be promoted with the interests of exports first, by removing regulatory obstacles and creating new markets for the circular economy. At the same time, raw materials which are critical for Finland must be charted.
Economy and Taxation
Companies must enjoy predictable taxation and business environments. The public finances must be balanced, and care must be taken to ensure the corporation tax rate and system are competitive. To make work worthwhile, the long-term goal must be reducing income tax in all income classes, within the framework of what the public purse can afford.
