Climate work in own production

Between 2019 and 2022, we have reduced the emissions of our own industrial production by some 30 per cent, for example by introducing green and carbon-neutral electricity and by systematically improving our energy efficiency.

In our production units, we only use carbon-neutral electricity, for which we have acquired guarantees of origin. In our production units, we systematically improve energy use and carry out energy audits to find ways to improve energy efficiency.

We take climate impacts into account in all our investment decisions. We continuously invest in production equipment, which also reduces emissions from production. For example, we have invested in energy efficiency through a number of heat recovery projects.

By efficiently utilising materials, we can significantly reduce our environmental impact. We reduce systematically production losses and food waste, as well as utilise by-product material flows. Our production by-products are used as efficiently as possible by many other industries, such as the leather, feed and pet food industries. Unused materials of animal origin are used for biogas production. In Finland, we are committed to the material efficiency commitment of the food industry sector.
