About Perspetivo
Perspetivo is a leading representative survey company in the Nordics enabling inclusive growth. We believe that impact is made through direct dialogues with both majority and different minority groups in order to future-proof organizations by including more perspectives. By doing so, we aim to understand, reflect and develop the society in which we live.
Ultimately, all our work is about enabling a society wherein all people are welcome, and all voices are heard. We do this by inviting as many perspectives as possible, always aiming to get a full, clear view, because a full view leads to better decision making for all.
Perspetivo’s panel provides the first database in the Nordics for deeper understanding of all parts of society, no matter the age, socioeconomics, mother tongue and much more – we enable you to include all voices before making important decisions for your organization and for your society as a whole.
