2. Future-resilient solutions
   A deed that has created sustainable value, developed operations or introduced new user-oriented solutions.
3. A thriving higher education community
   A deed that has strengthened community spirit, inclusion or student wellbeing.
4. Value-driven action
   A deed that promotes Haaga-Helia’s values: courage, curiosity, caring and collaboration.
