Sidosryhmäkohtaisesti

Sidosryhmäkohtaisesti is a Finnish term used in business and public administration to describe an approach that structures information, decisions, and communication according to stakeholder groups. The term combines sidosryhmä (stakeholder) with kohta­isesti (per, according to). The concept emphasizes identifying key stakeholders—such as customers, employees, investors, suppliers, communities, and regulators—and considering their respective needs, rights, and interests in governance and reporting.

In practice, sidosryhmäkohtainen toiminta entails stakeholder mapping, prioritization of issues (often framed as materiality), and engagement processes to determine what information should be disclosed to different groups. Reporting or communication is then organized by stakeholder group, or at least includes dedicated sections that address concerns relevant to each group. This approach can be seen in corporate governance, risk management, and sustainability reporting, where material topics are discussed with reference to their impact on or from specific stakeholders.

Benefits include increased transparency and accountability, stronger trust, and more effective risk management and resource allocation. Challenges include the resource burden of collecting and maintaining group-specific data, potential conflicts among stakeholders, and ensuring representative input and data quality while complying with privacy and regulatory requirements.

Sidosryhmäkohtaisesti is closely related to concepts such as stakeholder theory, stakeholder engagement, and materiality-based sustainability reporting. See also: stakeholder theory, sustainability reporting, stakeholder engagement, materiality.
