Digitally inclusive Finland

In an increasingly digital world, it is important to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to be part of the change. 

Why is digital inclusion so important to DNA? 

Voice and data communications have become a necessity for people and society at large and it is difficult to manage without good connections. Products and services offered by telecommunications businesses may, however, seem complicated, And not everyone has the devices or skills required in today’s digital society. 

DNA wants to contribute to the promotion of digital inclusion in Finland. We place special emphasis on high-quality comprehensive networks, fast connections, clear and understandable products and services, and excellent customer service. We also support the digital skills of our clients and the general public by publishing articles and surveys. DNA also wants to help those most vulnerable standing on the other side of the digital divide.

We continue our partnerships with SOS Children’s Villages Finland and Hope. In 2021, we also launched new partnerships with Protect Children and Plan International Finland. In 2022 we have also started a new partnership together with VTKL – The Finnish Association for the Welfare of Older People.

 

How our work is governed 

We also want to stay awake on current population trends in Finland and therefore we conduct surveys (in Finnish). Data from the surveys helps us improve customer experience, understand customer needs, develop our service offering, and share valuable information on digitalisation for the society at large.

We cannot achieve digital inclusion in alone. We need to work together with partners to make our work more effective and to bring expertise to the table to make sure those most vulnerable in our society will also benefit from digitalisation. We discuss the results of our work with our partners annually and actively develop better ways to report the results to the public. 

The pace of digitalisation is accelerating, and DNA understands that many people sometimes struggle to keep up. We help people increase their safety awareness by publishing articles (in Finnish) on topics including the most common online scams and ways to improve data security.
