Bittium Most Material Sustainable Development Goals

3 Good health and wellbeing: Bittium’s medical technology products, which improve modern healthcare, are safe, efficient, and offer cost savings, promoting health and well-being.

  • Bittium’s new ambulatory ECG device, Bittium Faros Pro™, designed for long-term ECG recording, is built to capture high-quality, accurate ECG signals while patients continue their daily lives. High-quality signals and longer recording periods help healthcare professionals detect intermittent arrhythmias, understand each patient’s heart and make more confident care decisions. Long-term ECG recording gives healthcare professionals more opportunities to capture intermittent heart rhythm events that shorter recordings may miss.

5 Gender equality: Bittium focuses on closing the gender gap and ensuring equal opportunities for all.

  • Bittium conducted an equality survey for its personnel in 2025.
  • Gender balance in 2025: Proportion of women in personnel was 15 % (Goal 2030: 20 %). Proportion of women among supervisors was 21 % (Goal 2030: 20 %)

8 Decent work and economic growth: Bittium’s goal is to operate cost-effectively and profitably in the long term. This creates added value for various stakeholders and the surrounding society. Bittium measures well-being and work ability of own personnel, safety and equality plans, and employee benefits.

  • At the end of 2025, Bittium employed a total of 528 people in Finland, Germany and the United States.
