Outotec publishes its sustainability report 2012
Outotec has published its sustainability report 2012, which describes Outotec's
approach to sustainability, performance and achievements during the year as well
as future targets. Key achievements in 2012 include a comprehensive Code of
Conduct, new long-term targets set for the sustainability work and high
proportion of environmental goods and services (EGS) in 2012 order intake.
"Outotec's most significant impact on sustainability occurs indirectly through
our customers' operations. With eco-efficient solutions, it is possible to
reduce the environmental impact of the industry, at the same time increasing
welfare. Our customers' priorities towards the environmental and social
dimensions of sustainability strengthened in their decision-making. In fact, as
much as 89 percent of our order intake in 2012 represented environmental goods
and services under the OECD definition", says Outotec CEO Pertti Korhonen.
"We also worked hard on making our values an integral part of everything we do.
In line with our commitment to sustainability, we continued our efforts to
establish policies and processes to improve our sustainability-related
performance, data collection, and measurement systems. We were able to reduce
our greenhouse gas emissions in relation to sales, however, the total emissions
increased partly due to our strong business growth, which required frequent air
travel to project sites and customer meetings. We intend to further improve our
performance and reporting and thus demonstrate our commitment to good
governance, responsible business practices and transparency."
The report conforms to GRI Application Level B+ and is third-party assured by
Ecobio Ltd. The report is available at www.outotec.com/sustainability in
English.
