Responsibility
Our growth strategy provides the guidelines for our journey towards new business opportunities and a low-carbon future. We believe that the expansion of the energy market and new innovations are prerequisites for a cleaner tomorrow. Renewal and agile leadership are key elements of our strategy as we are purposefully and responsibly moving towards new opportunities.
Our purpose is ‘cleaner energy’. We help our customers to reduce their own carbon footprint as well as that of their customers. Together with its partners, Gasum promotes development towards a carbon-neutral future on land and at sea.
"A carbon-neutral future is both a necessity and a business opportunity. Gasum is purposefully and responsibly developing a Nordic gas ecosystem. We offer an environment-friendly alternative to oil-derived fuels and coal, and help our clients achieve their emission reduction targets."
Olga Väisänen, Vice President, Communications and sustainability
"Gasum is a pioneer in zero waste thinking where waste generated by companies is utilized locally as energy. At Gasum everyone takes pride in promoting this thinking model."
In the circular economy raw materials are circulated in a closed loop. When licorice candy is made from local wheat, surplus from production process is taken to a biogas plant. Organic digestate created in biogas production can then be transported by biogas-fueled vehicles back to the same fields and used as a fertilizer.
"We’re creating a low-carbon future for our customers and want to lead Nordic businesses and consumers to selecting an environmentally friendly and local alternative.”
Digitalization enables us to increase the efficiency of our own operations to an even more environmentally friendly level through actions such as optimizing logistics and facilitating data collection. This improves supply security and predictability and generates cost savings for our customers.
”Growth in the use of gas is a prerequisite for the achievement of ambitious emission targets.”
In ten years from now, the majority of the energy used will be renewable, and biogas will already play a significant role in Finland's energy production. A full switch to clean energy will have taken place in Baltic Sea shipping as well as in delivery and heavy-duty road transport. Major progress will also have been made in hydrogen-to-gas conversion. Gasum is already an active innovator in all these today. We stand out by investing in alternatives for the future.
At Gasum we have summed up our values in a single proposition: “Purposefully and responsibly moving towards new opportunities. Read more about our Corporate Responsibility Program.
