Terveystalo's Climate Commitments and Emissions Data

Terveystalo, a health and social work services provider based in Finland, has established robust climate commitments, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. This ambition is supported by science-based targets.

Emissions Data:

• 2025: Terveystalo reported total emissions of approximately 31.7 million kg CO2e (Scope 1 and 2 market-based). Scope 1 emissions were about 281,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions (market-based) totalled approximately 2.88 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were significant, reaching approximately 28.55 million kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (about 18.69 million kg CO2e) and employee commute (about 6.94 million kg CO2e).

• 2024: Total emissions (Scope 1 and 2 market-based) were approximately 4.26 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 199,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 4.06 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were substantially higher, at about 39.33 million kg CO2e, with employee commute (approximately 10.61 million kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 18.29 million kg CO2e) being the largest categories.

• 2023: Total emissions (Scope 1 and 2 market-based) were approximately 2.76 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 155,700 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 2.60 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were reported at about 856,700 kg CO2e, primarily from employee commute (approximately 635,200 kg CO2e) and business travel (about 174,100 kg CO2e).

• 2022: Total emissions (Scope 1 and 2 market-based) were approximately 1.54 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 174,400 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 1.37 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were reported at about 856,600 kg CO2e, with employee commute (approximately 649,700 kg CO2e) and business travel (about 162,600 kg CO2e) being the main contributors.

• 2021: Total emissions (Scope 1 and 2 market-based) were approximately 664,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 245,500 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were about 418,500 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were around 411,100 kg CO2e, largely from business travel (approximately 374,500 kg CO2e).

• 2020: Total emissions (Scope 1 and 2) were approximately 996,400 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 287,200 kg CO2e (including mobile combustion), and Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity were about 709,200 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions included business travel (about 39,100 kg CO2e) and waste generated in operations (about 30,200 kg CO2e).

• 2019: Total emissions (Scope 1 and 2) were approximately 2.14 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 357,700 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity were about 1.78 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year.

Climate Targets and Initiatives:

Terveystalo has committed to ambitious climate targets aligned with a 1.5°C pathway, verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

• Near-Term Targets (by 2030):

  • A 55% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from a 2024 base year.
  • A 52% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions per thousand customer visits.

• Long-Term Targets (by 2050):

  • A 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from a 2024 base year.
  • A 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions.
  • Achieve net-zero GHG emissions across the entire value chain.

These targets reflect Terveystalo's dedication to environmental stewardship within the health and social work services sector.
