The environment and responsibility have been important issues for Helsinki Mills for a long time. Long-term work has been done to reduce the company’s carbon footprint, and the company is the first carbon neutral mill in Finland. Helsinki Mills decided to be carbon neutral in its whole supply chain by 2034.
An example of long-term climate work is Helsinki Mills’ own biopower plant, which was commissioned in Vaasa in 2013. In addition, all of the company’s production facilities have used electricity generated by hydropower since 2010.
Sustainable and resilient agriculture at the core
Domesticity and transparency are important issues for Helsinki Mills. At the heart of the company’s vision is sustainability and sustainable agriculture that benefits both people and nature. The company wants to secure the future of food production and reduce the environmental impact of its own operations. Extreme weather events, such as soil depletion and species depletion, affect agriculture and thus the company’s access to the most important raw material.
Helsinki Mills commits to sustainable development and continuously develop its processes to ensure they produce the best possible food. The company has been producing exclusively plant-based food since 1934 and is doing its best to provide easy and healthy options for the modern consumer as well.
As a new climate measure that delights consumers, Helsinki Mills launched the Oat Food Generator on its website, which will give consumers tips on how to make more climate friendly oat-based versions of traditional rice and pasta based home dishes.
Doing business and appreciating the environment
Helsinki Mills has reduced and offset its carbon footprint for two years now. Next, the company will focus on the product life cycle calculations. It has been clear to the company from the very beginning that only safe and high-quality products and activities that value nature and people can succeed. We do business on the terms of environmental responsibility.
It is important to minimise and compensate our environmental impact and to measure and manage it more accurately. We strive to be a net positive player from the perspective of sustainability.
Niklas Kumlin, CEO of Helsinki Mills
