For minimizing our environmental footprint

Harvia strives to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of its operations to limit global warming and contribute to global efforts in safeguarding the environment. That requires systematic actions in several areas, such as energy use, logistics, and purchasing.

Harvia’s target is to make its operations carbon neutral by 2030. Harvia’s emissions calculation is performed in accordance with the standards and guidelines of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG). Harvia’s Group-level Scope 1 CO₂ emissions in 2023 were 998 tCO₂ (1,196) and Scope 2 emissions 745 tCO₂ (749). Total emissions decreased by 11.4% compared to 2022.

Harvia is also targeting 100% emission-free electricity consumption at group level at sites where it is possible by 2030. The company is using the year 2020 as the baseline, when 68% of its electricity was emission-free. In 2023, the share of emission-free electricity was 75%.

We strive for carbon neutrality in our operations to limit global warming and contribute to global efforts in safeguarding the environment.

Harvia’s growing automation of production has enabled the company to continuously optimize its energy consumption and reduce waste. Every factory of the company is able to monitor its electricity consumption online, which allows immediate corrective actions to be taken by the maintenance staff.
