We dream of an equal world where language is not an obstacle to understanding one another

Youpret was founded because of a desire to help those in the most vulnerable positions in our society. Without common language even small things can become insuperable obstacles in life.


We truly believe in the transformative power of business. Together, we can define a new level of corporate responsibility by focusing on concrete actions and verified, unquestionable results instead of empty rhetoric.

Priorities for sustainability

We want to effect change for the better in our society. In particular, we influence through the following stakeholders.

   Reducing inequalities by enabling language access to everyone

We know how easily everyday situations could turn into obstacles when there is no common language. When essential public services—such as healthcare, childcare, and immigration—are inaccessible due to language barriers, it creates a fundamental inequality within our society.

In Finland, the law guarantees everyone the right to an interpreter when a common language with public authorities is missing. With the help of our language professionals we aim to ensure that newcomers can equally say what they truly want to say—not just what they are able to say.

On our busiest days, we facilitate over 1,000 interpretations across the healthcare, education, and judicial sectors.

We also encourage Finnish companies to reduce language obstacles when recruiting international experts, as we see how immigration enriches our society. To raise awareness, we regularly participate in public events and panels across Finland, advocating for a more inclusive and accessible community. Read our customer success stories.

  Treating language professionals fairly and transparently

We are happy to work with an extensive and diverse network of language professionals coming from different cultural backgrounds, as well as different locations throughout Finland. By using proprietary technology, we distribute equally remote interpreting and translation assignments to language professionals all over Finland.

We value fair and supportive treatment with language professionals. Our latest survey shows 88% satisfaction with our support team and 80% satisfaction with our punctual payments. We also ensure full transparency by sharing exactly how fees are split between the client, the interpreter, and Youpret.

To support professional growth, we offer Youpret Academy, a free learning platform. To date, over 360 participants have completed courses across 31 lessons, maintaining a high satisfaction rating of 4.7/5.

Furthermore, our 2023–2024 recruitment training has successfully helped dozens of experts in North Karelia transition from unemployment into active roles within the industry. Read our Interpreter career stories

We aim to create a diverse and inclusive workplace culture. This is supported by our company organizational structure that supports clear and regular communications within teams and between employees and supervisors.

Our latest survey shows that employees feel safe to raise concerns at work (4/5), find it easy and effective to receive support from colleagues (4.5/5) and their opinions are taken into account (4.3/5).

By automating routine tasks, we’ve created more dynamic roles. The majority of personnel feel what they do is meaningful to them (4.3/5). We take concrete action by offering jobs and internships to those facing employment barriers, such as immigrants and the long-term unemployed. To support growth and well-being, last year, we provided 9 training sessions, including group and individual training, alongside annual sports and culture benefits. By organizing several after work sports, arts and game events, our recreation committee ensures that we celebrate small and big achievements together.
