“The Chamber of Commerce membership is important to us, as it allows us to collaborate with others to influence our operational environment. The Chamber of Commerce provides excellent opportunities to join forces and achieve great things. For example, availability of competent labor, internationalism and environmental considerations are all themes that we at Genelec have in common with the Chamber of Commerce and which are strongly presented in both of our strategies.
