Green finance and progress towards emission targets are highlights of Elenia’s sustainability work
A Net Zero business plan covering the entire value chain of operations, the first biodiversity roadmap, the lowest accident frequency ever. Here are some examples of the achievements of our sustainability work in 2025. We have just published our sustainability report, in which we have compiled information about our determined work in the areas of environment, social responsibility and governance.
Our sustainability report provides a comprehensive overview of our work to develop sustainability with regard to the climate, nature, circular economy, well-being at work, security of electricity supply and security of supply, as well as the value chain and partners. We are modernising and building the electricity network to meet the needs of climate change adaptation, national security and the electrification of society.
Highlights of our sustainability work in 2025
In 2025, we achieved our best result ever in the international GRESB sustainability assessment of the infrastructure sector, scoring 99/100 and a full five-star rating. The assessment confirms our position as one of the most responsible operators in the industry.
We issued a green bond aligned with the EU Green Bond standard as one of the first companies. It supports our strategy of investing responsibly and sustainably in energy infrastructure that is critical for Finland.
In 2025, we expanded our Net Zero business plan to cover the entire value chain, i.e. all Scope 1–3 emissions. Our goal is to reduce emissions by 90 per cent by 2050. The emissions development achieved during the year has been in line with our SBTi climate targets and shows concrete progress towards our long-term emission reduction targets.
In 2025, a total of 4,295 GWh of renewable energy was supplied to our electricity network, which accounts for 72 per cent of the electricity needs of our 443,000 customers.
We have published our first biodiversity roadmap, which guides our targets and actions to reduce nature impacts and protect natural values.
Our and our partners’ joint lost time incident frequency fell to a historically low level of 1.3. The safety culture was strengthened through training, audits and uniform operating models.
In 2025, we invested more than EUR 127 million in the security of supply and clean transition of the electricity network. Our electricity network underground cabling rate rose to over 66 percent and the number of new electricity connections and industrial-scale energy storage systems continued to grow strongly.
