We have identified the most essential themes of our journey – which we are taking one step at a time.
Sitowise published its first sustainability program in 2019. It defined Sitowise’s ambition to be the most responsible partner in developing a prosperous living environment. The sustainability program, and particularly Sitowise’s vision, have guided the company’s operations during the previous three years, fueled its internal sustainability debates and drawn increasing attention to the opportunities – and requirements – of sustainable development.
In the recent years, Sitowise has grown considerably and expanded its operations to Sweden, and it has also been listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. At the same time, society’s expectations for monitoring and measuring sustainability work have risen. Legislation is in a constant change and demands for corporate sustainability are increasing.
Sitowise's emission reduction targets are:
• We will reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 83% by 2030.
Scope 1 emissions are emissions directly caused by our own operations. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from purchased energy, such as office electricity and heating energy emissions.
• We will reduce scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030.
Scope 3 emissions are other emissions indirectly caused by operations, such as emissions from procurement, mobility, transportation and waste management.
The reference year for the targets is 2023.
In a specialist company like Sitowise, social responsibility tends to focus on ensuring and improving the well-being of employees. We want to show that we are strongly committed to improving the wellbeing and equity of our employees, therefore this is one of the main goals in our sustainability program.
We will reach this goal with following actions:
In this way we can fulfil our employer value proposition “unique people, significant together”.
Sustainability and responsibility requirements increasingly affect the operations and development needs of our clients. In addition, mitigating and adapting to climate change, energy efficiency, the circular economy, and inclusivity require developing and scaling new solutions.
We will reach this goal with following actions:
Business activities related to the built environment have a large impact on the climate but also on several other sustainability issues. Sitowise wants to actively participate in finding new sustainable trends and enhance the sustainable development of the whole industry.
We will reach this goal with following actions:
The industry should strengthen its role and visibility as a developer of sustainable solutions.
To support the update of the sustainability program, Sitowise conducted a materiality analysis that identified the most crucial ESG aspects of sustainability regarding Sitowise’s operations and the related level of ambition. The materiality analysis examined the trends affecting our business, made comparisons to the UN’s Sustainable Development Agenda, and took the views of our employees and clients into account.
