Cooperation to build a low-carbon society

 

Neste is a founding member of the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra's Smart & Clean Foundation.

Foundation, established in June 2016, aims to develop the Helsinki metropolitan area together with City of Lahti in Finland into a leading test area for clean and intelligent solutions.

Such solutions will be related to, for example, transport, food, housing, and energy. Of the Foundation's key themes, particularly transport and mobility are most relevant for Neste. The term of operation for the Foundation is five years.

Carbon Handprint tool development project

Neste's experts have played an active role in the new Carbon Handprint tool development project, which was launched in September 2016.

The aim of this project, coordinated by Finnish VTT, was to develop a method and a tool to help companies to measure the environmental benefits related to their products and operations and to communicate about them better than before.

Such information enables comparing of companies and their products in order to make choices based on sustainability aspects. This is an area that is new and developing at a global scale.
