Acting for the earth Front pageActing for the earthEnersense aims to build a future society powered by clean energy and based on sustainable solutions. We act for the environment by reducing the environmental impacts of our own operations and by helping our customers cut emissions in their projects. Minimising climate impact Enersense’s climate targets for 2035 approved by SBTi: Absolute GHG emissions (Scope 1–2) from own operations -63% from the 2023 baseline Absolute GHG emissions from the value chain (Scope 3) -38% from the 2023 baseline Combined, these targets will reduce Enersense’s emissions by 40% Maximising carbon handprint Developing offering with increased carbon handprint Increasing demand of low-emission steel and other construction materials Share of offers including low-emission materials > 50% Minimising climate impact We are committed to science-based emissions reductions. Our target is to cut emissions by 40% by 2035 compared to the 2023 baseline, and our targets have been approved by the international Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). More than 90% of Enersense’s emissions originate from sources other than the company’s own operations, so-called Scope 3 emission sources. The greatest single source of emissions is steel used in green energy transition projects, such as power lines and substations. Steel accounts for about one-third of the company’s emissions. Enersense has drawn up a climate roadmap that defines the actions needed to achieve emission reductions. The shift to low-emission steel, the electrification of our vehicle fleet and getting our material and service suppliers committed to emission reduction are the keyways to achieve our climate targets. We have identified numerous ways to reduce emissions from the investments, operation and maintenance of clean energy transition and telecommunications networks. We do not yet have all the solutions for reducing emissions, so we remain open to innovation and new ways of working. Towards a stronger carbon handprint Our aim is to improve our customers’ carbon handprint, meaning their positive climate impact. This involves developing offerings with a greater handprint and increasing demand for low-emission steel and other lower-emission construction materials. More than 50% of our offers include a low-emission material option. As a lifecycle partner to our customers, we support them in achieving their own sustainability targets. Not all solutions are yet widely available, but we are progressing step by step and piloting new ways of working together with our customers and partners. We also require our suppliers to commit to Enersense’s Supplier Code of Conduct. For the first time in Finland, we are building steel structures for substation outdoor areas using recycled steel, which has around 40% lower emissions than conventional steel.Read moreIn northern Finland, we are constructing a high-voltage power line for a transmission system operator using low-carbon concrete elements in the foundations, resulting in approximately 15% lower emissions.Read moreSince 2025, we have been systematically electrifying our vehicle fleet. Electrifying just the first third of the fleet in Finland has already turned around 1.7 million driving kilometres emission-free.Read more In northern Finland, we are building a high-voltage transmission line for the national transmission system operator using low-carbon concrete elements in the foundations, resulting in approximately 15 per cent lower emissions.
