About Blic

Blic’s mission is to ensure our clients’ voices are heard in decision-making that affects them. We are one of the leading public affairs consultancies in Finland and the EU.

  • We act with integrity and always do our utmost to advance our clients’ interests.

    We ensure there are no clear conflicts of interest between the projects we undertake on behalf of our clients. We operate under robust NDAs and conform to a high standard of data protection.

    We will only carry out activities we have explicitly agreed to undertake with our clients. We retain the right to decline to carry out activities that conflict with our principles.

    The use of a client as a reference is always agreed explicitly.

  • When we communicate with decision-makers, we always inform them who we are working for and for what purpose we are gathering information.

    We ensure that the information we pass on to decision-makers is accurate. We retain the right to decline to carry out activities that violate this principle.

    We aim to increase the confidence of decision-makers in lobbying activities by acting responsibly and by encouraging our clients and decision-makers alike to act transparently with regards to advocacy work.

    We categorically reject all forms of bribery and corruption.

  • Blic is registered in the Transparency Registries of the European Union, Finland, and Germany, and is committed to complying with rules stemming from these Registries in the course of our advocacy work.

Our way of working

Our values

  • We trust in the expertise, effort, and excellent workmanship of our colleagues. We grow by doing, supporting, and encouraging. All of our employees have freedom, but also the responsibility for their own work.

    Towards our clients, trust is built on high-quality workmanship. We aim to be the best possible partner from the first contact. We prove ourselves worthy of trust through our expertise, high-quality and careful workmanship, and proactive approach.

    In relationships with decision-makers, trust and respect go hand in hand. We act in a manner that earns the trust of decision-makers and handle the information we receive properly, thoughtfully, and with respect to the decision-makers’ wishes.

  • In our work community, openness means that information, expertise, and new solutions are accessible to all. In practice, this is reflected in our investments in internal communication, engagement, and the humanity of our interactions.

    Openness also guides our interactions with clients: we do not hesitate to raise and address even difficult topics. We assess assignments from multiple perspectives and openly share all aspects of the matter with the client. We are careful to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest between our assignments or that none arise.

    We are also open towards decision-makers and actively promote the transparency of lobbying activities. We always ensure that decision-makers knows whose goals we are advancing.

  • Our insightfulness is one of our greatest competitive advantages. The strength of our work community lies in the ability to find the best solution together. We challenge everyone to share their perspectives and value different viewpoints. Our work and insights are grounded in our team's diverse expertise and comprehensive understanding of societal phenomena. We offer our clients solutions that benefit both the industry and society. We dare to challenge our clients' views, even on difficult matters.

    In relationships with decision-makers, we are a bold and active participant, offering socially justified solutions and perspectives. We strive to bring a comprehensive picture to the discussion, one that widely considers the views and opinions of various parties. We build this comprehensive picture through diverse networks. We provide decision-makers with all relevant information and justify our solutions through arguments and facts.

Blic’s offices are located in Helsinki and in Brussels. The wide expertise of our staff at both locations enable us to pursue the interests of our clients at both national and the EU-level.
