Sustainable development

Sustainable development is at the core of Länsiö Logistics operations, because we understand the importance of responsible operating methods from the perspective of the environment, society and the economy. By investing in energy-efficient solutions, greener transport options and optimal utilization of resources, we want to build a future where environmental effects are minimized and competitive services are offered to customers at the same time. Sustainable development is not only the value of our company, but it acts as a strategic guideline that supports long-term growth and creates added value for all stakeholders.

  • We are an essential part of the path of material that goes into recycling and useful use

Own operations CO2 emissions per zero

We reduce the emissions of our own operations systematically so that our operations are emission-free in 2030.

Emissions 2022:
Scope 1: 358 TCO2E
Scope 2: 16 TCO2E
Scope 3:204 TCO2E
Total 578 TCO2E

Emissions are mostly generated from transport fuels (62%), district heating of terminals (3%). In addition, emissions are caused by fixed assets and fossil fuel transfer loss (35%).

The current emissions of our own operations correspond to the annual emissions of approx. 58 Finns.*
