• Manufacturing Transparency: Our manufacturing facilities are located in Finland and United States, ensuring transparency and capability to sustainable practices.
• Energy Efficiency: We reduced energy consumption by 11% during the years 2022–2025 as part of Motiva’s energy efficiency agreement. We comply with the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Directive entering into force in 2026 and continuously develop energy efficiency as part of our ISO 14001 environmental management system, together with the Energy Efficiency System (ETJ+).
• CO₂ Emissions and Calculation: In 2025, Treston Oy’s emission intensity decreased by approximately 5% for Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to the previous year. We continue to develop our CO₂ emissions calculation to also cover Scope 3 emissions.
• District Heating: During 2026, the Turku production facility will transition from oil-based heating to district heating, reducing CO₂ emissions by an estimated 320 tonnes (tCO₂e) per year.
• Water and Waste Management: Constant monitoring has led to reductions in water usage, and all plastic and steel waste generated is fully recycled. Heat generated by our machinery is repurposed to heat factory premises.
• Ethical Standards: We follow our code of conduct, and we expect our partners to comply with our ethical guidelines. In Finland we offer a whistleblowing channel for reporting non-compliance.
