Environment and emissions
We take the environmental impact of our business seriously and seek to reduce it. Our aim is to make the most efficient possible use of raw materials, and to reduce emissions throughout the value chain.
As the majority of the Otava Group’s carbon footprint comes from the value chain, we are developing our business in collaboration with our partners. We monitor EU regulatory developments and are preparing to apply the Deforestation Regulation.
The Otava Group’s carbon footprint
The Otava Group calculates its greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) standard. The calculations take into account both emissions from our own operations (Scope 1 and 2) and emissions from the value chain (Scope 3).
Most of the Otava Group’s greenhouse gas emissions originate in the value chain (98.9%). We have drawn up a climate change transition plan in which we have assessed both our emissions calculations and the effectiveness of implemented measures.
The Otava Group has set 2022 as the baseline year for its emissions calculations, that is, we will be comparing our emissions over the coming years against this baseline year. In the table, baseline emissions are shown before the slash and 2024 figures after the slash.
