Key supplier engagement to climate work
Majority of our emissions originate upstream from our core activities, namely purchased goods and services. Therefore it is vital to incorporate key suppliers in our climate work through a systematic process.
Carbon Roadmap
Most of our emissions come from the value chain
Our carbon footprint in 2021 was 47 287 tCO2e.
That is about same as 4 600 average Finnish persons yearly emissions or 15 600 persons yearly car driving emissions when driving 20 000 km per year.
Our direct emissions (Scope 1) accounted 0,1 % of our total emissions. Emissions from the electricity and heat we purchased (Scope 2) form another 0,1 %. The remaining 99,8 % comes from other indirect emissions (Scope 3), for example, purchased goods and services, transportation or capital goods.
The calculation is performed in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. This standard is the most used and accepted standard and many corporate responsibility reporting frameworks, such as GRI, CDP and TCFD, also recommend its use.
Priority emission reduction actions
Greener logistics
Emission reductions in logistics can be achieved through strategic and tactical level decisions. Strategic level decisions are incorporated into key procurement decisions, such as prioritizing local suppliers. Tactical level decisions are done in cooperation with logistics partners and assists in achieving emission reductions on shorter term, for example using biofuels or electric vehicles.
Data quality improvements
We aim to move in all the procurement categories from spend-based calculations to mass-based data and then gradually towards supplierspecific emission calculations.
Reducing impact in own operations
We have already done significant improvements, but there is still room for impact reduction to achieve Carbon neutrality in own operations. This includes energy efficiency measures, vehicle policy updates and offsetting the remaining emissions.
We have been working for a long time to reduce our carbon footprint and cut emissions. Through persistent work, we have been able to reduce our emissions significantly. At the same time, we recognise that there is still more to do and are committed to continuous improvement.
