Signification
Deciding based on values rather than immediate benefits.
Contexte culturel
In Finnish politics, a 'periaatepäätös' by the Government is a powerful tool. It's not a law yet, but it signals to the whole country where the ship is heading. It reflects the Finnish desire for consensus. Finnish companies like Nokia or Neste often use this phrase in their sustainability reports to show they aren't just following trends, but acting on deep-seated values. The concept of 'periaatteen ihminen' is highly respected. If you make a 'periaatepäätös' and break it, you might lose 'kasvot' (face) or respect in your community.
