Saara Haapamäki

Senior Consultant

“Before joining Gaia, I worked as a financial lawyer in a law firm and in various banks. I got curious about the potential of the financial markets to contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation a few years ago, when sustainability-linked and green loans started to make their entry into the market. I felt able to use my skills as a lawyer to develop a better future, but I also felt the need to further develop my expertise in sustainability and finance. This led me to study Sustainable Finance in business school in addition to my law degree. After completing my studies, I found Gaia an attractive place to work, so that I could put my studies to good use and promote sustainability in practice.

At Gaia, my work allows me to contribute to solving the most important challenges of our time by promoting sustainable development in the world. The great thing about working at Gaia is that I get to promote values that are important to me, while learning an incredible amount every day from experts in different fields at Gaia.”
