PHM Group presents its Climate Transition plan with clear targets for 2030
Vehicle fleet electrification and expansion of charging infrastructure are essential steps towards reducing emissions.
“Systematic emissions reduction is now a standard practice for companies of our size. The transition plan helps us future‑proof our operations and respond to increasing expectations from customers, investors, and society at large,” says Hanna Ferrara, Sustainability Manager at PHM Group.
A clear and achievable climate target
The main objective of PHM Group’s transition plan is to reduce the Group’s emissions economic intensity by 28 percent by 2030. The target is measured as emissions relative to turnover, thereby taking PHM Group’s continued strong growth into account.
The plan covers PHM Group’s entire carbon footprint, including emissions from its own vehicle fleet and energy use, as well as purchased products and services. The transition plan has been carried out in close collaboration with employees across several PHM Group countries. Through workshops, analyses, and dialogue, the Group has identified measures that deliver the greatest climate benefit while also being practically feasible to implement.
The key actions include:
- Gradual electrification of the vehicle fleet, with electric vehicles becoming the first choice when replacing cars and light transport vehicles
- Expansion of charging infrastructure at offices and depots
- More efficient transport planning to reduce driving distances and fuel consumption
- More sustainable procurement through closer cooperation with key suppliers and improved climate data for products and services
Together, these initiatives contribute not only to lower emissions, but also to better cost control, higher data quality, and more robust and consistent ways of working across the Group.
Stepwise implementation and annual follow-up
The climate transition plan will be implemented gradually starting in 2026 and adapted to country-specific conditions. Progress will be monitored annually, and the plan will be adjusted as needed to reflect business growth and expansion into new markets.
Sustainability as part of long-term value creation
According to the CEO of PHM Group Ville Rantala, the transition plan is an important part of building a strong and resilient company for the future.
“Our transition plan demonstrates that sustainability and profitable growth go hand in hand. By setting clear targets and focusing on practical actions, we are strengthening our long-term competitiveness and creating value for our customers and other stakeholders,” Rantala states.
With its new transition plan, PHM Group is taking clear responsibility for its climate impact and showing how sustainability can be integrated into core business development. The plan is an important tool for continuing to build a strong and future-proof PHM Group.
