25 June 2024 – Time Magazine and Statista have today published the first comprehensive global list of the world’s most sustainable companies, based on key sustainability assessments and sustainability reporting frameworks. Elisa is ranked 66th on the World’s Most Sustainable Companies Top 500 list, and best among Finnish companies. The companies that made the list are from more than 30 countries, including 13 companies from Finland.
“This global recognition is an indication that Elisa has emerged as one of the world’s leading companies also from the sustainability point of view. It is also testament to Elisa’s 15 years of commitment to working for a sustainable future. However, the most important thing is that sustainability is genuinely at the heart of our strategy and an essential part of our mission – a sustainable future through digitalisation”, says Elisa’s CEO Topi Manner.
Elisa is committed to the UN Global Compact, promoting a secure digital environment, equality and ethical business, and mitigating climate change.
“We promote sustainable development in society by developing sustainable digital solutions and reducing the negative impacts of our own operations. For us, sustainability is above all about taking actions with a genuine impact on sustainable development. We do this in collaboration with our customers and partners, with the support of all Elisa employees, in more than 20 countries”, Manner continues
Elisa has set ambitious sustainability targets for the availability of fast connections, cyber security, increasing Elisa’s carbon handprint and the energy efficiency of the mobile network, innovation, and promoting equality.
Transparent reporting helps stakeholders assess the progress of Elisa’s sustainability measures. For 11 years now, Elisa has been publishing an independently verified sustainability report, and the company reports on the progress of the targets in its interim reports.
Earlier this year, Elisa ranked among the 100 most sustainable companies in the world on the Corporate Knights Global 100 list. In addition, MSCI, which assesses corporate responsibility globally, raised Elisa’s ESG rating to the highest level, AAA, and the global environmental non-profit CDP raised Elisa’s climate reporting to the A List in recognition of its leading role in transparency and climate change action.
