The historic stock exchange listing in January 2022 on Nasdaq Helsinki was an instrumental part of our growth strategy. We welcome Katariina to the Group. Along with her experience and enthusiasm for the role, she will lead the next phase of our journey to inform financial markets about our journey to become the leading provider of sustainable indoor climate comfort solutions. We would also like to thank Josefina Tallqvist for her invaluable support as Interim IRO for Purmo Group during the last 12 months."
