CFA Society Finland Christmas Dinner and Charter Awards was held at Restaurant Sipuli
CFA Society Finland was very happy to gather with its members for annual Christmas Dinner and Charter Awards on 7th December, at Restaurant Sipuli in Katajankokka, Helsinki. For years, Sipuli has been a trusted place for our Society’s annual staple events, and it’s pleasant atmosphere did not let us down this time either. The evening was hosted by our board members Tuomas Hillukkala, CFA and Toni Iivonen, CFA.
Welcoming drinks were followed by an interesting presentation by Niklas Kaskeala, Chief Impact Officer, Compensate. Compensate is a non-profit foundation concentrating in offering voluntary and reliable carbon credits for companies and individuals, making it easy to offset emission that are unavoidable. Niklas gave the audience an in-depth analysis on what the voluntary carbon credit market looks like now an its potential for the future, how to ensure real impact from carbon credits (vs. greenwashing), and what the differences are when talking about carbon neutrality vs. net zero targets. Thank you Niklas for joining our event with a highly topical theme.
