Neova Terra is responsible for peat production, Neova’s land ownership and real estate development, i.e. the development of solar and wind power, as well as the production of new high-value-added products, such as activated carbon, biostimulants and animal feed raw materials. “What these businesses have in common is that their current state and future are very strongly influenced by EU legislation. I am very pleased that Janina Mackiewicz, a solid professional in EU advocacy, will join us to write the next chapter of Neova Terra, during which the company, previously known as an energy and fuel company, will focus even more strongly on the value chains of food production and renewable energy. In addition to Neova Terra’s public relations, Janina will also be responsible for media and sustainability communications”, says Markus Tykkyläinen.

“It is a great pleasure and honor for me to join us in building a new phase for Neova Terra’s long and meaningful story in Finland. Neova Terra has its sights set on a more sustainable future, and I look forward to advancing this work together with the company’s expert organization. I bring with me a strong vision and experience of EU legislative work and advocacy work, with which we can together take Neova Terra’s expertise and goals forward with determination”, says Janina Mackiewicz.
