Transport emissions are one of the most concrete topics in our environmental action, as transport causes one fifth of Finland’s climate emissions. We shoulder responsibility for the environment by improving the sustainability of the transport system, for example, through traffic management services and by providing traffic data and digital services to end users. We have divided our environmental action into two parts: managing the environmental impact of our own business and value chain and influencing emissions throughout the entire transport system.
Fintraffic - an enabler for an environmentally efficient transport system
Our operations can significantly influence traffic flow and service level in the transport system – and thereby impact emissions from various modes of transport.
- Optimised, environmentally efficient traffic management reduces emissions from transport
- By providing data and traffic solutions we can streamline travel and logistics chains and prevent environmental accidents and damage.
- New solutions also helps us to tackle incidents and congestion.
Towards carbon neutrality
Fintraffic has defined emission reduction targets as per the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) criteria that comply with the 1.5°C: -63% by 2035 and -90% by 2050. These targets are aligned with low-carbon measures that support the 1.5°C global target.
Key decarbonisation measures include:
- transition to fossil-free energy
- electrification of vehicle fleets and use of renewable fuels
- improving in-premises energy efficiency and technical infrastructure
- guidance related to and systematic measurement of low-emission procurements
- low-emission conversion of backup power systems (e.g. backup power generators)
We are committed:
- We are committed to the Finnish State’s carbon neutrality objective.
- We are an environmentally oriented group; we are an enabler for a smooth and environmentally efficient transport system; we are an influencer for environmentally driven travel; and we prevent accidents and environmental damage.
- We will be further developing our carbon handprint and footprint calculations, our environmental and impact reporting, and our own environmental capabilities at every level.
