Environment and emissions

Otava Group monitors the greenhouse gas emissions from its operations in accordance with the Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 categories. As the majority of our emissions arise in our value chain, our reduction efforts focus particularly on purchased goods and services, as well as transportation and distribution, in cooperation with our partners.

We monitor developments in EU regulation and prepare for the application of legislation such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).

Otava Group’s carbon footprint

Otava Group calculates its greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol). The calculation covers both emissions from our own operations (Scopes 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3) for all material Group companies and the Scope 3 categories identified as material.

The majority of Otava Group’s greenhouse gas emissions originate in the value chain. Otava Group’s calculated Scope 1–3 greenhouse gas emissions in 2025 were 27 % lower than the 2022 baseline. The comparison is based on calculations conducted in accordance with the GHG Protocol. Scope 2 emissions are reported using the location-based method. The calculations have not been externally verified.

Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2025

Scope 3 emissions in 2025

In 2025, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were 574.8 tCO₂e, accounting for 3.1% of Otava Group’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Scope 1 and 2 emissions were 53.2% lower than the 2022 baseline (1,080.2 tCO₂e).

Scope 3 emissions amounted to 17,949.5 tCO₂e in 2025. Indirect value chain emissions accounted for 96.9 % of Otava Group’s greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from purchased goods and services (87.1%) and transportation and distribution (5.9%).
Scope 3 emissions were 26 % lower than the 2022 baseline (24,283.5 tCO₂e).
