Sustainability
Developing and maintaining digitalization solutions for services critical to society is an important part of our sustainability strategy.
Sustainability is an integral part of our daily operations: leadership, development, and our customer solutions. Our aim is to do business sustainably, improving the well-being of the environment and our people, and improving the efficiency of society's infrastructure.
Our sustainability work is based on the double materiality assessment analysis required by the EU CSRD Directive, where the issues identified will guide our sustainability work, reporting and strategy in the future.

Aiming for significant emissions reductions
State-owned companies are expected to
be aware of the climate and environmental impacts of
their own operations and to reduce emissions in line with
Finland’s carbon neutrality target and the Paris Agreement.
Our climate work is guided by the goal of a carbon-neutral Finland in 2035. Cinia's environmental plan guides the company's activities to reduce environmental impacts.
Most of Cinia’s emissions are generated indirectly outside of our own operations, but we recognize our responsibility and role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the ICT sector as a whole.
Cinia’s own greenhouse gas emissions arise mainly from the energy consumption of telecommunications equipment and data centers. In addition, emissions
are generated from the products and services we purchase, business travel, and logistics.
Our goal is to systematically reduce our CO2e emissions. The key indicator for monitoring emissions is emissions
from own operations (Scope 1 and 2) per employee.
- By utilising waste heat from data centres.
- By investing in renewable energy.
- Reducing emissions from premises by moving to more energy-efficient premises.
- By centralising equipment rooms and data centres.
- By investing in low-emission cars.
- By promoting the circular economy, primarily by extending the life cycle of our equipment and making it easier to recycle.
- Ensuring that equipment and materials comply with international quality, environmental, health and safety standards.
- By using partners whose processes comply with international and certified quality, environmental, health and safety standards (ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001).
People and society
Responsible HR management ensures that everyone's wellbeing, safety and ability to work are taken care of every day.
Besides the legislation on ensuring the well-being of the employees, Cinia has principles that guide the development of well-being at work in place. The monitoring of health and well-being is guided by the annual occupational health and safety action plan.

- We are committed to promoting equality and preventing discrimination in all our activities.
- Cinia has zero tolerance for all forms of workplace bullying, sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior.
We measure progress on social responsibility
- The Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) survey, which measures employee experience.
- The number of absences due to sickness.
- Percentage of women working managerial postions compared prosentage of women in company.
- The number of whistleblowing reports.
We take human rights into account in Cinia's supply chain
In addition to the well-being of our own employees, we also take
responsibility for the people working in our value chains.
We pay attention to fair working conditions and terms of employment and do not tolerate unsafe or unfair working conditions or related human rights violations in any form.

governance are essential to Cinia. We act ethically towards all of our stakeholders, including suppliers and other partners.
