The faster pace of climate change is accelerating the need for structural changes in society. The need for low-carbon energy is growing because fossil fuels must be replaced in transportation, industry and heating. Clean electricity is a significant enabler in this. In fact, we believe that the 2020s will be the decade of electricity. In addition to climate change, changes in the regulatory environment and the fast pace of technological development create new challenges and opportunities for us. Our role is to respond to the changing operating environment by reshaping the energy system, improving resource efficiency and providing smart solutions. This way we deliver excellent shareholder value, minimise our adverse impacts, and ensure sustainable and low-emissions business. Sustainability is at the core of Fortum’s strategy and our values – curiosity, responsibility, integrity and respect – form the foundation for all our activities. In our operations, we give balanced consideration to climate and resource issues, as well as our impacts on personnel and society. We see sustainable energy and circular economy solutions as today’s competitive advantage and a prerequisite for business growth and success.
