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.
A chance for everyone to live a life they want
We help immigrants find their place and purpose in society. Being understood plays a key role in integration and in fulfilling basic human needs. Our interpreters help people say what they want, not just what they can.
We meet people fleeing from crises, and assist them with the basics of everyday situations. For us, the humane encounter with another person is always the most important thing.
Also, companies need international talent, and the successful integration of people is key to maintaining competitiveness.
We help immigrants to get the basic services in their native language every day.
The role and significance of interpreters in society
We offer job opportunities to everyone, regardless of ethnic background, gender or other personal factors. Our technology enables us to share interpreting assignments effortlessly.
We make the meaningful work done by interpreters more visible and valued. We are leading the way by developing new standards for better working conditions across the entire field of interpreting.
As concrete measures, we have organized onsite trainings and online discussions for our interpreter network. We pay interpreters’ fees fairly and transparently.
We have developed our own Youpret Academy learning application, where our interpreters can enhance their knowledge about the interpretation field and related topics for free. Youpret Academy is currently available in Finnish, and more English content is under development.
Inclusive and diverse work community
We are a workplace where diversity is valued and where everyone can be completely themselves. According to an employee survey, our workers appreciate Youpret’s team spirit, equal treatment, opportunities for contribution and development, our own technology and the meaningfulness of the work.
As a concrete measure, we provide jobs and internships for people who otherwise have difficulty finding them (for example, immigrants and the long-term unemployed.)
We actively promote diversity, equality, and inclusion throughout the entire Youpret community for example with recruitment, training, Youpret Academy, as well as employee and culture handbooks.
The UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals form a global frame of reference according to which companies can plan and execute actions to promote sustainable development.
Youpret has the greatest impact in the following goals within the frame:
