Sustainability at Kaukokiito

As a logistics company, our operations play a significant role for the climate, society and people of Kaukokiito. For us, sustainability is about concrete everyday actions that help us to reduce emissions, maximise our positive impact and help our customers to achieve their own sustainability goals.

Our sustainability work so far has been a signpost on our path towards more sustainable logistics: we are making significant alternative propulsion investments in fleet, developing route planning with the help of technology and offering our customers the Kaukokiito BIO service, which transports shipments using renewable diesel. In addition, we invest in the well-being of our personnel: we support competence development, for instance, and invest in supervisory work and occupational safety.

We are proud of our sustainability efforts and will continue them. Our goal is to transport our customers’ shipments 100% fossil-free by 2040. As an intermediate goal, we will reduce the emissions from our transport by at least 42% by 2030 compared to the 2020 baseline.

In order to achieve our sustainability goals, it has been important for us that sustainability is an integral part of the Kaukokiito management system. That is why the implementation of the sustainability objectives is steered by our own sustainability steering group. This group is committed to incorporating sustainability closely into Kaukokiito's business. We have divided our sustainability goals into three areas: climate, Kaukokiito people and society. These themes have their own sub-objectives that concretely define our path towards goals and sustainable everyday life.

We do not only want to be a sustainably operating logistics company, but our goal is to help our customers to achieve their own goals in terms of sustainability. Sustainable logistics require close cooperation between Kaukokiito people, our customers and our partners.
