Environment

We make continuous efforts to reduce our environmental footprint and improve our resource efficiency. The transparency and traceability of our procurement always come first. 

Olvi’s responsibility footprint is determined throughout the supply chain. It covers our own operations as well as the entire delivery chain, and we want to develop processes together with our partners. Good supply chain management and procurement practices have a substantial effect on the environment, climate and society.

Responsibility for the Environment

Environmental responsibility is largely manifested as resource efficiency – the safe and efficient use of raw materials, supplies and energy, as well as recycling and optimisation of transports. We make continuous efforts to reduce our environmental footprint.

Our Group-wide environmental policy and its focus areas – carbon footprint reduction, water consumption, treatment of wastewater and recycling of materials – define the shared objectives and targets for our environmental responsibility.

REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

Olvi Group continuously takes measures to reduce its carbon footprint. We want to contribute to the reduction of emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement, with the objective of holding the increase in the average global temperature at 1.5°C. Read more

OPTIMISING OUR WATER USAGE AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT

We seek to use only necessary amount of water in the production. We also cooperate with wastewater processing plants to develop efficient pre-treatment of wastewater. Read more

PROMOTING THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

In addition to recycling, reusing materials as far as possible is also important for us. We consider recovery of by-products and recyclability of packaging and other materials from production process, for example. Read more.
