How we act responsibly
The entire energy sector is undergoing a transformation. The faster pace of climate change is accelerating the need for structural changes in society. The need for low-carbon energy is growing because fossil fuels must be replaced in transportation, industry and heating. Clean electricity is a significant enabler in this.
In addition to climate change, changes in the regulatory environment and the fast pace of technological development create new challenges and opportunities for us. Our role is to respond to the changing operating environment by reshaping the energy system, improving resource efficiency and by providing smart solutions. We want to offer long-term value for our stakeholders as well as take responsibility for our supply chain. We understand that satisfied customers are key to our success.
Our values – curiosity, responsibility, integrity and respect – form the foundation for all our activities. We emphasise operational and occupational safety, employee well-being, the secure energy supply for customers, circular economy solutions and improved resource efficiency, as well as ethical business operations and compliance with regulations.
Our aim is to provide our customers with environmentally friendly products and services. We strive to continuously reduce the environmental impact of our operations and while reliably providing our customers with the electricity and heat they need.
Key focus areas
With the help of our stakeholders, we have defined these issues shown in the figure below as our key sustainability topics. The topics are those that Fortum's operations have a significant impact on and that in turn affect the company's ability to create added value for stakeholders.
