While many sustainability challenges require industry-wide cooperation, VEO remains committed to making measurable progress where it can.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Environmental responsibility in practice<\/h2>\n<p>VEO\u2019s environmental focus rests on three pillars: supporting customers in their decarbonisation journeys, reducing emissions in its own operations and addressing impacts across the value chain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur most significant environmental impact is created through the solutions we design and deliver. Today, a vast majority of our projects support the energy transition, and this share continues to grow,\u201d says <strong>Kim R\u00e5holm<\/strong>, Development and HSEQ Director.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In its own operations, VEO continued to improve energy efficiency, increase material reuse and advance the electrification of its vehicle fleet. Emission monitoring was further strengthened through the introduction of a new carbon accounting tool. From 2026 onwards, the remaining Scope 1 and 2 emissions will be partly compensated through certified forest planting projects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><strong>\u201cCompensation is not a shortcut, but complements structural improvements. Our focus is systematic progress, improving data quality and increasing transparency.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Most emissions originate from Scope 3 within the wider value chain. \u201cWe work systematically with suppliers and customers to identify concrete reduction measures. Real progress is achieved together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>A culture built on safety and engagement<\/h2>\n<p>Safety and employee engagement remain central pillars of VEO\u2019s sustainability work. \u201cMaking sure that our people are safe and feel valued is fundamental. Safety is about responsibility; every person must return home unharmed at the end of the day. Engagement grows when people feel heard and involved. Open dialogue and clear processes strengthen both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, VEO achieved twelve consecutive months without lost-time injuries, reflecting sustained focus on preventive practices and improved site procedures. A new safety video reinforced shared standards across the organisation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Employee engagement strengthened in 2025, reflected in a clear rise in eNPS. \u201cDuring the year, we made a conscious effort to recognise good work, give people more responsibility and strengthen positive internal communication. Regular development discussions and continuous learning support that work\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Governance and long-term direction<\/h2>\n<p>During 2025, VEO also continued to strengthen its governance and reporting practices, while closely monitoring regulatory developments. A double materiality assessment identified the sustainability topics most relevant to VEO and its stakeholders, sharpening strategic priorities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolicies, however, are not enough \u2013 they also need to be understood and applied in everyday work. All employees complete training on our Code of Conduct and information security, with follow-up through our digital learning platform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The overall sustainability work at VEO is guided by clear direction rather than short-term initiatives. \u201cSustainability is not a separate agenda for us,\u201d R\u00e5holm concludes. \u201cIt is about working systematically, improving transparency and building trust with our stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #01adef\">Kim R\u00e5holm<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Development and HSEQ Director<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ar.veo.fi\/2025\/market-overview\/\">READ THE MARKET OVERVIEW<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ar.veo.fi\/2025\/\"><strong>GO BACK TO MAIN PAGE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Structured progress in sustainability &nbsp; In 2025, VEO advanced its sustainability work through structured measures and clear strategic focus.
