Support the development of renewable electricity production
All of Fortum Markets Oy's electricity contracts are origin-verified. When you sign an electricity contract with us, we purchase the same amount of guarantees of origin equivalent to your electricity consumption. This way, you can be sure that the amount of electricity corresponding to your company's consumption has been produced from low-carbon sources. You can also add the Yritys Alkuperä additional service to your electricity contract. In this case, the electricity has been produced from renewable energy.
Our sustainability targets
Our purpose shows our determination to work towards a world where there is a balance between the wellbeing of people, the needs of societies, the success of businesses and the diversity of nature. Our actions are guided by this purpose and our ambitious climate targets as we continue taking steps towards net-zero emissions. We also want to be a company that cares about its people, the communities around us, and the people impacted by our supply chains, both locally and globally.
The sector in which we operate, as well as the nature of our business and the impact our activities have on the environment and society, represent a complex framework. We need to accurately identify all the areas where we have an impact – positive or negative. Based on our yearly double materiality assessment (DMA), we identify our material sustainability topics. To manage these topics, we have set sustainability targets for the entire group to demonstrate our commitment and future ambitions

Renewable energy is sourced from naturally replenishing or limitless resources like sunlight, wind and water, unlike fossil fuels. Common examples include solar, wind and hydropower.
Carbon dioxide-free electricity refers to electricity produced using production methods that do not emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
It is also referred to as fossil-free electricity generation, because no fossil fuels such as coal or oil are used in the production process.
Carbon dioxide emissions are a major cause of global warming and therefore low-carbon electricity helps in the fight against climate change.
