Carbon reduction pathway – guiding our environmental focus

Technopolis’ renewed carbon reduction pathway is built on a reduction first approach, prioritizing energy efficiency, smart use of space and shared services to lower the environmental impact of our campuses. Smart office planning remains a key enabler for reducing emissions while supporting high-quality customer experience.

The carbon reduction pathway was updated in 2025 in connection with the Sustainability Roadmap update and covers Scopes 1, 2 and 3, defining ongoing actions, measures for 2026–2030, and clear 2030 targets. In setting the targets, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) methodology has been used as a reference, although the targets have not been formally validated by SBTi.

The pathway focuses on proactively reducing energy demand, improving efficiency, and minimizing the need for compensation measures.

Scope 1 emissions relate to refrigerant leaks as Technopolis has no other material Scope 1 emission sources. A 20% reduction target is set for 2030 compared to 2016.

For Scope 2, Technopolis has achieved 100% renewable electricity, and from July 2025 onwards, 100% renewable district heating in Finland. The aim is to achieve a 99% reduction in Scope 2 emissions per square meter by 2030, with any remaining emissions planned to be compensated.

Reducing Scope 3 emissions is addressed through close collaboration with suppliers, customers and tenants. This includes more refined carbon footprint calculations, shared reduction targets, increased waste sorting and recycling, circular economy practices, and low carbon renovation solutions. By 2030, Technopolis aims to significantly reduce emissions from waste, customer renovations and other renovation activities compared to 2024.

Piloting new technologies and collaborating across the value chain remain essential to achieving Technopolis’ longterm decarbonization goals, with targets revisited as carbon footprint calculations continue to develop.
