For the good of this country
The focal points of our sustainability work
Environmental sustainability
Our environmental sustainability focuses on reducing transport emissions. Transport is the single largest source of emissions in our operations.
Social sustainability
In social sustainability, we focus on promoting staff well-being and workplace satisfaction, providing a safe working environment, and developing know-how.
Good governance
We promote good governance by regularly training our staff on ethical guidelines and by holding our subcontractors to the same principles.

Kaukokiito’s Sustainability Review 2025
The Sustainability Review brings together the key objectives of our sustainability work, the concrete actions taken, and the results achieved during the year 2025.
Actions for the good of this country
We – the people of Kaukokiito – keep the whole of Finland in motion, and this has a big impact. There are already more than 2,000 of us and we know that when our own people are happy, it goes a long way. This is evident in the high quality, delivery reliability, and customer experience – something the data reflects as well. That’s why we take good care of our own: we are honoured to be a valued employer and partner.
The emissions we produce are heavily influenced by things such as the type of fleet we use, how we plan our routes, and how efficient our buildings are in terms of energy consumption and operations. Through our technology, our know-how, and the choices we make every day, we are able to keep doing things even better in terms of the environment and people, and we encourage our partners to follow suit. Reducing emissions has an impact both here in Finland and abroad. That’s why we are continuously reducing emissions, so that by 2040 our transport will be completely fossil-free.
At the core of our operations lies an attitude of delivering what we promise. By our own example, we can make our supply chains more transparent: we act with integrity and demand that our partners do the same.
We have set ourselves concrete targets for our sustainability work. Each of us is working to achieve them – for the good of this country.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Towards a fossil-free future
We keep the whole country moving. Our goal is to achieve completely fossil-free transport by 2040. As an interim goal, we will reduce our transport emissions by at least 42% by 2030 compared to 2020 levels. As one of the leading players in the logistics sector, reducing our transport emissions will have a significant impact on transport emissions in Finland as a whole.
Investments and data
Reducing transport emissions requires investments in new vehicles, improving route planning, and increasing the use of biofuels. As our transport emissions keep decreasing, reducing them will also become easier for our customers. We provide them with data on emissions reductions to support their reporting.
We encourage and reward
We are leading the way for the entire logistics sector: in addition to investing in equipment, we are constantly developing and optimising our own operations. Our aim is to get your goods to their destination as quickly, efficiently, and with as low emissions as possible. We encourage our drivers to drive economically and reward them for succeeding.
Renewable energy for facilities
We optimise our facilities’ energy consumption, and our terminals use renewable electricity. At eight of our terminals, we generate some of the needed electricity ourselves with solar panels.
SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
We care for the well-being of the Kaukokiito people
Happy employees do a good job, and it shows in each encounter. We want to be a company worth recommending both to our customers and to our employees.
Safe at work and on the road
Our goal in occupational safety is to reach zero accidents, which we aim to achieve through continuous improvement. We constantly monitor workplace accidents, near misses, and targets for development in occupational safety – and promptly rectify any shortcomings. Our safe and secure practices enable us to provide high-quality and reliable services to our customers.
Development opportunities
We encourage everyone at Kaukokiito to develop their skills and we feed curiosity. We support continuous learning and ensure that our staff have every chance to develop and grow as experts. We monitor progress towards this goal annually in a staff survey.
Worth recommending
We are honoured to be a trusted and respected employer and partner. We strive to make our employees want to recommend us as a workplace – aiming for an eNPS of over 25 by 2028. This will require, among other things, excellent managerial work, inspiring training, actions to support occupational well-being, and a mentally and physically safe working environment.
GOOD GOVERNANCE
We act with integrity
What unites us at Kaukokiito is the attitude of keeping our promises. We strengthen our operational transparency by ensuring that each of us completes ethical guidelines training every three years.
Report suspected abuse
Transparent action
Integrity and equality are key values for us. We value a fair handshake and the idea of doing things as agreed. We are making our approach even more transparent: every three years, every Kaukokiito member will undergo training on the Code of Conduct.
Involving our subcontractors
We want to have clear ground rules throughout the whole Kaukokiito chain. We engage our partners in the things that we deem important: performing ethical operations and achieving the climate goals. Our aim is to train all our subcontractors to follow the Code of Conduct principles by the end of 2027.
A shared value base
Strengthening good governance highlights what we already are. We are a trustworthy partner that makes all decisions in accordance with Finnish values. As one of the leading players in our field, it is essential that we are able to make our entire supply chain more transparent.
Our Code of Conduct
Kaukokiito’s Code of Conduct describes how we act responsibly and consistently throughout the entire Kaukokiito network. It consists of two parts: the Code of Conduct for employees and the Code of Conduct for suppliers. Together, they define our shared ways of working in all our operations and collaborations.
Our principles are based on shared values that guide our decision‑making and day‑to‑day activities in all situations.
