The Ruohonjuuri Spirit

Ruohonjuuri is already there, where the world is going

The story of Ruohonjuuri (grassroots in English) began in a small wooden building in 1982. This cottage was a meeting place of a group of environmentally aware young people. Back then, sustainability was very much a minority issue. The popularity of Ruohonjuuri gradually grew alongside environmental awareness.

As time has gone by, Ruohonjuuri employees still hold the same values: sustainability, responsibility, a people-centric approach, positivity, and innovation. These core values are present in every working day at Ruohonjuuri, and they form the cornerstones for all our actions. As Ruohonjuuri grows, we still focus on being agile and building a community of like-minded people, associations, and companies.
