YIT has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% and Scope 3 emissions by 30% by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are designed to support the global effort to limit warming to 1.5°C. The company is currently on track to meet its near-term targets, with a clear focus on reducing emissions across all scopes. YIT's emissions data is self-reported and does not cascade from any parent organization, ensuring that the figures reflect the company's direct operational impact. The construction and engineering sector, in which YIT operates, is under increasing scrutiny to enhance sustainability practices, making these commitments particularly relevant in the current climate context.
