Valkea Growth Club Invests in a Finnish Startup AskKauko Developing ESG Data Platform ImpactOS

Fortum’s Valkea Growth Club has invested in AskKauko, the developer of the ImpactOS platform. This platform supports companies of all sizes in managing their entire supply chain's ESG data and using it to build a competitive advantage. With this investment, ImpactOS aims to grow into a leading international platform focused on ESG data.

ImpactOS: Data That Changes the World

With the ImpactOS platform, companies can collect, manage, and report ESG data from their supply chain more easily. At the same time, it helps companies optimize their environmental impact and improve their competitiveness.

With Valkea Growth Club’s investment, ImpactOS will bring to market a free basic version of the platform and paid premium tools available to companies of all sizes.

“ImpactOS is designed to help companies understand the importance of ESG data and use it to grow their business. Previously, collecting reliable data, especially from the supply chain, and utilizing it in business has been challenging for many companies. Our goal is to turn ESG data into a competitive advantage that not only meets regulatory requirements but also creates real business value,” says Klaus Matilainen, CEO of AskKauko, the development company behind ImpactOS.

Collaboration That Changes Markets

Valkea Growth Club’s investment paves the way for collaboration, especially within the supply chains of SMEs and large operators. This facilitates companies of all sizes in transforming sustainability from mere regulatory compliance into a key factor that enhances their business competitiveness.

“Future companies will not only report ESG data but will use it proactively – optimizing their supply chains and creating sustainable competitive advantages,” says Klaus Matilainen.

“We look forward to collaborating with ImpactOS to develop services aimed at our corporate clients, supporting them in their sustainability efforts and in meeting CSRD requirements,” says Stefan Sonnerstedt, Senior Manager for Investments at Fortum.
