Sustainability is an intrinsic part of our business

Considering the nature of consulting and planning operations, the carbon footprint of Solwers’ own activities is limited. The Company primarily focuses on strengthening its positive environmental handprint by enabling favourable environmental impacts in client projects and across the value chain.​

Sustainability services and environmental expertise support low-carbon construction, energy efficiency and sustainable life-cycle design, as well as circular economy practices, biodiversity enhancement and adaptation to climate change.​

In practice, this is reflected in project delivery through, for example, recycling construction materials, optimising energy consumption and environmental impacts over a building’s life cycle and designing nature-based and green environments.​

During the year 2025, Group companies contributed to several projects with recognised environmental performance, including a large-scale building project awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. Such assignments illustrate how Solwers’ expertise helps clients meet high sustainability standards while creating long-term value.​

Several Solwers companies have established environmental programs, and some subsidiaries hold environmental and quality accreditations such as EcoVadis Gold, Ekokompassi and ISO 14001 certification.​

Employee well-being is a core value for the Company. The subsidiaries’ light integration model supports independence and agility while enabling local needs to be considered, including employee benefits. At the same time, the Group promotes cooperation between subsidiaries and inclusion in a multidisciplinary expert community. Employee competence development is supported through regular and diverse training programs.​

The Group has separate guidelines aimed at promoting equality and non-discrimination, with the objective of ensuring a non-discriminatory, safe, and respectful working environment for all employees.​

High job satisfaction is of paramount importance to the Company. Job satisfaction is measured using the employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS*). In 2025, the response rate to the employee survey was 75% (2024: 66%), and the eNPS improved to +30 (2024: +25), which is considered very good. Results vary between subsidiaries, with the greatest challenges in companies where the availability of work is insufficient. The progress of development measures is monitored throughout the year.​

Solwers takes societal responsibility into account as part of its operations and acts as a responsible corporate citizen locally in its countries of operation. In 2025, the Company donated to selected charities in Finland and Sweden.​

Solwers operates in accordance with good governance practices in an open and transparent manner. The Group has a common Code of Conduct and an anonymous whistleblowing channel for suspected misconduct. In 2025, one suspected case was reported through the channel; following investigation, no further actions were required.​

During the reporting year 2025, the Company further developed its internal control and risk management environment and strengthened awareness of information security and the responsible use of artificial intelligence and social media. Solwers also maintains operating models for exceptional situations and crisis management.​
