responsibility

Transport is responsible for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions in Finland. That is why we have set ourselves a tough target: we are striving for 100% fossil-free transports 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.

What we have achieved

We are a logistics company that plays an important role in promoting climate-sustainable transport in Finland. Our most significant source of emissions is our fleet. For a long time, we have already been paying attention to in terms of the carbon footprint impacts. Thanks to the new fleet, extra-long HCT combination vehicles, biogas and electric vehicles and renewable diesel (Kaukokiito BIO service), we are on the way to achieving our climate goal.

In addition to fleet investments, we are reducing emissions by optimising transports, that is, by planning routes in such a way as to save driving kilometres. At our terminals, emissions are caused by energy consumption, which is why we use electricity from wind power and have additionally invested in energy efficiency, geothermal energy and solar panels. We also have a paperless supply chain.

In 2023, we launched the Kaukokiito BIO service, which is based on using renewable diesel. According to an ISO 16258-compliant calculation, the use of renewable diesel reduces the carbon footprint of transport by an average of 90%.

Our customers receive an emissions report that allows them to track the greenhouse gas emissions caused by their transports and compare them to their own emission reduction targets.

Ways to reach our goal

To achieve the goals, we will continue to invest in gas- and electric-powered equipment and the sale of our Kaukokiito BIO service, which transports our customers’ shipments with renewable diesel. We will continue to use data and robotics to optimise transport and train our drivers in an anticipatory and economical driving style. We will also intensify cooperation with stakeholders to ensure that all parties are involved in supporting the achievement of climate goals.
