Altia aims for carbon-neutral production by 2025
Nordic drinks group Altia has set itself a sustainability target to make its production processes carbon neutral by 2025.
Altia aims to be carbon neutral by 2025
Altia, which makes Koskenkorva vodka, has published its Sustainability Roadmap until 2030, which focuses on creating a circular economy and carbon-neutral production.
The group aims to achieve this by developing its production plants – “most importantly the Koskenkorva distillery’s bioenergy power plant” – and switching to renewable energy sources.
The roadmap is divided into four sections: Our distillery, Our drink, Our society and Our people.
The sections outline that production will be carbon neutral by 2025; packaging will be fully recyclable by 2025; 10% of Altia’s products will be low-alcohol or non-alcoholic by 2030; and there will be zero employees absent due to occupational accidents by 2030.
The roadmap was based on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Pekka Tennilä, Altia CEO, said: “Sustainability is a strategic priority and a key success factor for Altia. The basis of our products and export marketing is the barley processed at the Koskenkorva plant with the assistance of the circular economy and the pure, protected groundwater at Rajamäki.
“We have already been able to reduce our CO2 emissions by more than half from the level in 2014, and we’re now aiming for a zero level.”
