Energy

Our energy consumption consists of the usage of gas for heat and steam generation, and the use of purchased electricity and steam. We also produce electricity using solar panels at our Alicante site in Spain.  Suominen is evaluating opportunities for additional solar panel investments.

Suominen’s Sustainability Agenda 2025–2030 does not include measurable time-bound outcomeoriented targets for energy or climate adaptation. One of the objectives of target setting for Suominen’s Sustainability Agenda 2025–2030 was to focus our targets on the environmental matters seen as most material. In addition to our GHG reduction target, a target was set for reducing nonwoven landfill waste. No targets were set for energy consumption and climate change adaptation because those were not seen as equally significant matters to reducing GHG emissions or landfill waste. Thus, no measurable time-bound outcome-oriented targets were seen as necessary for these topics specifically. Nevertheless, alternative fossil-free energy sources and improving energy efficiency are an important part of reducing our GHG emissions and achieving our emission reduction target.
