Kemijoki

Situation

Energy company Kemijoki Ltd operates as Finland's most significant hydroelectric power producer in the Kemijoki, Lieksanjoki, and Kymijoki rivers. Kemijoki has been engaged in long-term and successful work for years to influence legislation and regulation in Finland, as well as in influencing the preparation of EU legislation in Brussels within various EU institutions. The company decided to assess areas for development and opportunities for streamlining its pubic affairs work with the help of an external party.

Solution

Blic conducted an assessment of Kemijoki's influencing work. The evaluation was carried out by comparing various aspects of Kemijoki's public affairs work with different components of Blic's Corporate Public Affairs Audit Framework. The assessment involved interviewing Kemijoki's management, stakeholders, and partners, as well as evaluating the materials Kemijoki used to support its public affairs work.

Added value

The externally conducted assessment provided Kemijoki with a clear report, enabling them to examine the effectiveness of their public affairs work and its implementation model. The assessment provided Kemijoki with an objective view of the strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement in their public affairs.
