Environmental Responsibility
For Bittium, environmentally responsible operations mean minimizing the harmful environmental impacts of the entire value chain. The focus of environmental responsibility is on climate change mitigation and the circular economy.
Focus areas are:
- Improving energy efficiency in our own premises and production
- Decarbonization
- Ecological product design, material and energy efficient products
- Committing suppliers and partners to implementing environmental management systems and carbon neutrality
- Monitoring and complying with changes in laws and regulations concerning environmental protection and sustainable development
Climate Targets
Scope 1 and 2: net zero by 2030 (base year 2023)
Scope 3: -42% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030 (base year 2023)
Read more in section E1 of the sustainability report.
During 2025, Bittium implemented a new emissions calculation tool and significantly refined its calculation process. As a result, some Scope 3 categories have been recalculated also for 2023 and 2024, which caused changes to the total emissions. Bittium’s current transition plan was prepared and approved before the correction calculations and therefore deviates from the absolute emissions reported in 2025. Bittium will update its transition plan based on the refined emissions data during 2026.
Circular economy
In Bittium’s business, the principles of circular economy principles are product durability, reusability, repairability, dismantling, refurbishment and recycling.
- The life cycle of products is extended with so-called Mid Life Upgrade programs. Customers can maintain the systems they have purchased by purchasing individual system components instead of having to purchase the entire system as a new one.
- Product design also considers the modularity of products within product families, which improves material efficiency, increases repairability and reduces the amount of potential waste.
