War destroys people’s futures and dreams. Women and children are especially vulnerable, and they are at the core of our foundation’s work. The best investment for their wellbeing is to support conflict prevention and resolution – what CMI does best. We are very proud of Finnish peace mediation and want to support CMI’s work by donating one round of peace negotiations. We believe that one can and should make a difference. Now we all have the opportunity.

The Eva Ahlström Foundation

For years, Niemi has been involved in supporting CMI’s and President Ahtisaari’s work on peace and conflict resolution. It’s wonderful that one of the world’s most important peace negotiation organisations comes from Finland.

We at Lumon are proud to be involved in supporting Finnish peace mediation around the world. Highly international and export-oriented business operations are everyday life for Lumon, and are vital for our survival. This is something we have in common with many other Finnish companies. The business world cannot afford to turn its back on what’s happening in the world. In today’s world, wars and violence have far-reaching consequences for all of us. So it’s especially important, in such uncertain times, to lay the foundations for stability wherever it is lacking. We warmly wish Martti a happy birthday, and wish Finnish peace-builders continued success!

– Tapani Kinnunen, Chairman of the Board,
Lumon

Because Finland is a small nation, peace, and the lack of it, have a greater effect on us than on many other countries. That is why CMI’s work to resolve and prevent conflicts is important for us. We at Aspo have brought people together across borders. We want to contribute to mutual understanding between people, despite differences of outlook.

– Aki Ojanen, CEO,
Aspo Plc

Our mission is to make the world more comprehensible, and in that way to make it a better place. Martti Ahtisaari and CMI do just that: they create understanding among people through open communication. In a disordered world, this is extremely important. CMI’s work can prevent a tremendous amount of suffering, and create new opportunities for millions of people. We knew immediately that we wanted to be part of this.

– Kirsi Piha, Chair of the Board,

CMI works to solve the world’s crises where they happen – and to do that, you have to go to where they are occurring. We have great appreciation for this brave and valuable peace work, and it is our great honour to be able to cooperate with CMI personnel on ensuring smooth travel to often-difficult destinations. Our cooperation is based on total trust, since the start of negotiations, dates, and other necessary information are as a rule strictly confidential. We want to support CMI’s peace work through this campaign also. We thank Martti Ahtisaari for his wonderful work, and send him our warmest birthday greetings!

Virpi Paasonen, CWT, Zone Director, Nordic
