This includes significant contributions from investments (approximately 8,982,999,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (around 674,000 kg CO2e). The previous year, 2022, saw total emissions of about 5,740,228,000 kg CO2e, again predominantly from Scope 3 emissions (approximately 5,739,928,000 kg CO2e). Finnvera has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from a parent organization. The company has focused on understanding its carbon footprint, with metrics such as carbon emissions per revenue and per employee being reported. For instance, in 2021, the carbon footprint per revenue was approximately 0.716 kg CO2e per EUR, and per employee, it was about 24,707,000 kg CO2e. Overall, while Finnvera has made strides in measuring its emissions, it currently lacks defined reduction targets or commitments to specific climate initiatives.
