SUS­TAIN­ABIL­I­TY

We have always been known for our com­mit­ment to inno­va­tion, diverse work­ing and think­ing, and sus­tain­able growth. Our mis­sion empha­sizes using the lat­est tech­nolo­gies to build a more sus­tain­able future togeth­er with our cus­tomers and part­ners. Sus­tain­abil­i­ty is both a strate­gic pri­or­i­ty and a fun­da­men­tal respon­si­bil­i­ty for us, and this com­mit­ment is inte­grat­ed into every­thing we do.

We want to be a pio­neer in sus­tain­able devel­op­ment in our indus­try. We hope to inspire oth­er com­pa­nies to incor­po­rate sus­tain­abil­i­ty into their core busi­ness strate­gies. By con­tin­u­ing to inno­vate and strive for sus­tain­able growth, we are cre­at­ing a more respon­si­ble and inclu­sive tech­nol­o­gy indus­try and world.

We warm­ly wel­come part­ners, cus­tomers and, more broad­ly, all actors in soci­ety to join us on the jour­ney. Using tech­nol­o­gy to cre­ate a bet­ter future – col­lab­o­rat­ing, inno­vat­ing and pro­mot­ing sus­tain­able development.

At Islet, we strive to make the world a bet­ter place with the lat­est tech­nolo­gies. Our val­ues are actions and demon­strat­ed in every­day deci­sions. We rec­og­nize that sus­tain­able devel­op­ment is not just a strate­gic pri­or­i­ty but a fun­da­men­tal respon­si­bil­i­ty. Our com­mit­ment to sus­tain­able prac­tices is inte­grat­ed into every aspect of our oper­a­tions, from min­i­miz­ing our envi­ron­men­tal impact to fos­ter­ing a diverse and inclu­sive cul­ture, eth­i­cal busi­ness prac­tices and social respon­si­bil­i­ty. Togeth­er, we can ensure a brighter, green­er future for all.

Sus­tain­abil­i­ty strategy

Our strat­e­gy focus­es on cre­at­ing long-term val­ue for our key stake­hold­ers – employ­ees, cus­tomers and part­ners – while ensur­ing a vibrant plan­et for gen­er­a­tions to come. Our sus­tain­abil­i­ty strat­e­gy cov­ers dif­fer­ent areas of ESG: envi­ron­ment, social respon­si­bil­i­ty and good gov­er­nance. At the core of our strat­e­gy is our desire to be pio­neers in our indus­try in active work that sup­ports our own sus­tain­abil­i­ty goals as well as those of our cus­tomers and partners.

Plan­et (Envi­ron­men­tal responsibility)

We are com­mit­ted to achiev­ing car­bon neu­tral­i­ty, pro­mot­ing bio­di­ver­si­ty and zero waste in our oper­a­tions. Under­stand­ing the urgency of halt­ing cli­mate change and the need to pro­tect the plan­et’s diverse ecosys­tems, we will take con­crete actions to achieve these goals, includ­ing long-term sup­port for WWF’s work to pro­tect the Baltic Sea.

Peo­ple (Social responsibility) 

We are com­mit­ted to pro­mot­ing social equi­ty and diver­si­ty, life­long learn­ing, and employ­ee sat­is­fac­tion and improv­ing health and well­be­ing. Our employ­ees, “Islet­ters”, are tru­ly our com­pa­ny’s most impor­tant asset and we are com­mit­ted to cre­at­ing an inclu­sive, safe and sup­port­ive work environment.

Sus­tain­able Busi­ness (Good governance)

We focus on cus­tomer sat­is­fac­tion, qual­i­ty and green inno­va­tion. We want to active­ly sup­port our cus­tomers and oth­er stake­hold­ers in their sus­tain­abil­i­ty goals, accel­er­ate the green tran­si­tion and active­ly increase pos­i­tive impacts.

Sus­tain­abil­i­ty report

We have pub­lished our first sus­tain­abil­i­ty report in 2024, about year 2023. For sev­er­al years, we have done a lot of work on var­i­ous sus­tain­abil­i­ty activ­i­ties, and Sus­tain­abil­i­ty report brings all actions togeth­er. We pub­lish our Sus­tain­abil­i­ty report annually.

UN Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment Goals

The UN Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment Goals have been tak­en as the basis for our respon­si­bil­i­ty work. Read more

The UN Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals designed to help build a bet­ter and more sus­tain­able future for us all. These goals will guide us towards a more inclu­sive, equi­table and sus­tain­able world by 2030.

Sus­tain­abil­i­ty frame­work in tech­nol­o­gy projects 

At Islet, we strong­ly believe that tech­nol­o­gy plays a key role in enabling respon­si­ble busi­ness. Based on this idea, we have devel­oped a sus­tain­abil­i­ty frame­work for tech­nol­o­gy projects, which aims to bring a sus­tain­abil­i­ty per­spec­tive to every project we deliv­er. Togeth­er with our cus­tomers, the frame­work helps us find con­crete ways to sup­port our cus­tomers’ sus­tain­able busi­ness devel­op­ment and inte­grate a sus­tain­abil­i­ty per­spec­tive into every­thing we do. The frame­work also engages project teams in sus­tain­abil­i­ty work and inno­va­tion, encour­ag­ing them to con­sid­er how sus­tain­able devel­op­ment can be pro­mot­ed in imple­ment­ing tech­nol­o­gy projects.

The sus­tain­abil­i­ty frame­work has been cre­at­ed in coop­er­a­tion with Islet’s per­son­nel, cus­tomers and our part­ner SAP. The goal of the frame­work is that every tech­nol­o­gy project not only achieves busi­ness goals, but also pro­motes sus­tain­able growth and respon­si­ble oper­a­tions. Read more

Islet Green Inno­va­tion Fund

To sup­port sus­tain­able devel­op­ment in our oper­a­tions and cus­tomer projects, we have estab­lished a EUR 100,000 fund for 2024. The fund is used to finance projects that inno­vate to advance the green tran­si­tion, har­ness new tech­nolo­gies to con­tribute to build­ing a more sus­tain­able future, and help our cus­tomers achieve their sus­tain­abil­i­ty goals.

We encour­age our cus­tomers to seize this oppor­tu­ni­ty and make a pos­i­tive envi­ron­men­tal impact togeth­er with us.

Islet Goes Itämeri campaign

Work for the Baltic Sea is close to our heart, and we organ­ise annu­al­ly an #Islet­Goe­sItämeri cam­paign. Through the cam­paign, we raise funds for the pro­tec­tion of the Baltic Sea, increase aware­ness of cli­mate action and the state of the Baltic Sea, and encour­age sus­tain­able mobility.

Our car­bon footprint

It is impor­tant for us to min­i­mize our car­bon foot­print and com­pen­sate for the emis­sions caused by our oper­a­tions. Our goal is to be car­bon neu­tral. Our green­house gas emis­sions are not high, but we con­sid­er it nec­es­sary to devel­op our oper­a­tions in such a way that emis­sions con­tin­ue to decrease. We start­ed our jour­ney towards car­bon neu­tral­i­ty years ago when we inte­grat­ed envi­ron­men­tal aspects into our process­es, for exam­ple when mak­ing pro­cure­ment deci­sions. Thanks to the efforts made over the past decade, we have been able to con­tribute to our own activ­i­ties with rel­a­tive­ly low car­bon diox­ide emis­sions. Our biggest sources of emis­sions are com­mut­ing and pro­cure­ment. We will focus our action plan on reduc­ing emis­sions from these sources. Reduc­ing the amount of waste and recy­cling care­ful­ly is self-evi­dent to us.
