More Than a Mine
– a part of Tornedalen
We are proud to be part of Tornedalen and to contribute to a community where people want to live, thrive, and grow. Driven by a strong local commitment, we work to create long-term value for the region and to strengthen the sustainable, vibrant local community that makes Pajala unique.
That is why we sponsor activities and events that contribute to a vibrant cultural and community life, making our municipality even more attractive.
Members of local associations are now invited to apply for sponsorship funding—resources we reinvest in our local community, our employees, and, above all, our young people, who represent the future. We welcome your sponsorship requests no later than November 30, 2026. Our aim is to announce sponsorship decisions before the end of the year.
Our criteria, who can apply for sponsorship:
Our sponsorship focuses on actions and events:
- Primarily directed at children and youth in Pajala municipality and surrounding areas.
- Promote culture, sports, community development, and innovation.
- That take responsibility for the environment and sustainability.
- That promote increased equality and diversity.
We avoid sponsoring:
- Individual persons or teams; we prefer to support at the organizational level.
- Political and religious organizations.
- Activities that conflict with the company's values, ethics, and morals.
- Profit-driven businesses.
- Investments
We sign agreements with those we sponsor:
- The agreement outlines the expected return on the sponsorship.
- If the sponsored party fails to meet the terms, Kaunis Iron reserves the right to terminate the agreement, and the sponsored party may be required to repay the sponsorship.
