Our Group’s sustainability efforts focus on measures to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation. We also invest in reducing plastic use, increasing the use of recycled materials, and fulfilling our social and economic responsibilities.
 The most significant sources of emissions in our carbon footprint are related to transportation and the products we sell. We work resolutely to reduce these impacts. To support this work, we have developed a climate roadmap with concrete emission reduction measures.
 A healthy and engaged workforce plays a key role in achieving our sustainability goals. Listening to our employees, ensuring occupational safety, providing employee benefits, and maintaining a pleasant working environment are central to creating and sustaining wellbeing.
 Our goal is to run a profitable business while also investing in growth. This is how we safeguard jobs for the future as well.
 To guide our day-to-day work, we have established shared ethical principles that apply to each and every one of us. Through our owner Tradeka’s whistleblowing channel, feedback can also be submitted regarding Lehtipiste or its subsidiaries if any conduct is suspected of violating Lehtipiste’s ethical principles.
 We report annually on the goals and achievements of our sustainability work in our owner Tradeka’s annual and sustainability report. We require our partners to commit to our ethical guidelines, and we assess the sustainability of our supply chain as part of the procurement process.
