Ambassador of Finland Sari Rautio: A Catalyst for Finnish-Spanish Business Relations

During her term in Spain Ambassador Sari Rautio has played a pivotal role in strengthening the economic and cultural ties between Finland and Spain. Her dedication, leadership, and tireless efforts have significantly enhanced the reputation of Finnish businesses in the Spanish market. The CCHF has also invited her to join the chamber as the first honorary member.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the awardees on their well-deserved recognition!

Our trophy: Sustainable thermowood from Finland

The trophy is composed of Finnish ThermoWood, a sustainable material produced from PEFC-certified raw materials through a chemical-free thermal modification process.

Designed by Iina Immonen, an interior design professional and CCHF board member, the trophy reflects the refreshed visual identity of our chamber. The meticulous woodwork is the work of Julia Ahvenainen, another board member and expert in mechanical wood engineering.

On top of the trophy, all recipients received a delicious liquorice advent calendar sponsored by Kouvolan Lakritsi.
