Sustainable development
Advancing the well-being of people, the environment and society is one of Fintos’ core values and ways of working. Commitment to responsible and sustainable operations means safety, well-being, innovation and continuity in our own operations as well as in our supply chains and communities.
Fintos is committed to sustainability
Advancing the well-being of people, the environment and society is part of Fintos’ core values and way of doing business. We continuously improve our own operations and cooperation with our stakeholders to reduce and prevent our adverse impacts on climate, nature, human well-being and society.
Sustainability has been one of our strategic priorities since 2022, and we are systematically working towards its implementation. In 2023, we launched a sustainability programme covering all aspects of ESG. In spring 2024, we were awarded the Carbon Footprint Calculated label as part of the Chamber of Commerce’s Climate Programme.
Sustainable development goals
In line with the UN 2030 Agenda, we have set Fintos’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as decent work and sustainable economic growth, sustainable industry, innovation and infrastructure.
The goals were endorsed by our Board of Directors at its meeting in August 2024. The next step is to describe in more detail what the goals mean specifically for Fintos’ operations.
Decent work and economic growth
We promote sustainable economic growth for all, full and productive employment and decent jobs.
Sustainable industry, innovation and infrastructure
We promote sustainable industry and innovation and build sustainable infrastructure.

Climate programme
Fintos is part of the Finland Chamber of Commerce‘s Climate Programme, launched in January 2024. A total of 218 companies were selected from nearly 300 applicants.
Under the Climate Programme, SMEs receive training, tools and expert advice on calculating their carbon footprint and on effective emission reduction measures.
The Climate Programme is part of Fintos’ commitment to responsibility and sustainability, in line with its strategy and values.
Carbon footprint calculated label
Fintos has been awarded the Carbon Footprint Calculated label for 2023. The emissions amount is 14.9 tCO2e and covers the organisation’s own activities (scope 1) and emissions from purchased energy (scope 2).
The Carbon footprint calculated label does not include Scope 3 emissions, but Fintos has already made progress in calculating them for some categories.
The Carbon Footprint Calculated label indicates that Fintos has calculated the emissions of its operations using the International GHG Protocol as part of its climate work.
The label was awarded by the Finland Chamber of Commerce on 7.6.2024.
