Scope 1
As Terveystalo does not, for
the most part, own or control
the properties at which it operates,
the greenhouse gas emissions mostly
consist of the emissions from
the fleet of cars controlled
by Terveystalo and the trucks
used for imaging operations. The emissions
arising from the company’s own driving and
driving under its direct control
are calculated based on fuel consumption.
In 2023, Scope
1 CO
2
emissions in Finland totalled 137.5
(134.5) tCO
2
e. In Sweden, Scope 1
emissions were 18.2 (39.9) tCO
2
Scope 2
Indirect Scope 2 greenhouse gas
emissions arise from the production of electricity
purchased by Terveystalo and the production
of
district heating consumed at properties
controlled by Terveystalo. In 2023, a
total of 16,171 (15,841) MWh of
electricity was
purchased for the properties controlled by
Terveystalo in Finland. The company’s
electricity portfolio (electricity purchased for
properties) has been zero-CO
2
green electricity since the beginning
of 2020. Zero CO
2
electricity purchased in Finland for
the
consumption year 2023 totalled 11,220
(11,395)) MWh, which corresponds to approximately
69 (72)
percent
of the electricity
consumption of the company’s operations in
Finland. The amount of electricity purchased
to properties not included in the
electricity portfolio totalled 4,951 (4,447)
MWh, which corresponds to 2,578.5 (1,267.4)
tCO
2
e (market-based). The growth in the
market-based Scope 2 emissions is
mainly due to an 83
percent increase in the Finland's residual
emission factor used in the
emissions calculation from the comparison
period1). The amount of purchased electricity
outside the electricity portfolio in
Finland
increased by approximately 11 percent, which also
affected the Scope 2 emissions
growth from the comparison period.
In Swedish
operations, 2,081 (1,328) MWh of electricity
was purchased for properties controlled by
Feelgood, of which approximately 74
percent (67 percent) was zero CO
2
green electricity. The Scope 2 emissions
from purchased electricity in Sweden
totalled 21.1
(102.3) tCO
2
e. Terveystalo’s target is for green
electricity to account for 100
percent of purchased electricity by 2025.
1) Scope 2 emissions are market-based.
The market-based Scope 2 emission
calculation takes into account
the green electricity guarantees of origin purchased by
Terveystalo,
which
in 2023 covered approximately 70 (72) percent
of the electricity consumption. The emissions
of the remaining purchased electricity have been calculated
using the residual mix
emission factors for Finland and Sweden (AIB,
European Residual Mixes). Finland's residual emission
factor increased by 83 percent from
2022 due to a higher share of fossil fuels
in
the residual mix (Finland's residual emission factor
in 2022 was 0.285 kgCO2e/kWh and
in 2023 0.5208 kgCO2e/kWh). The market
-based Scope 2 emissions for 2022 have been
recalculated for Finland, because Terveystalo
purchased the green electricity guarantee of
origin for the period 1 September - 31 December
2022 at the beginning of 2023.
Scope 3
For indirect Scope 3 emissions, Terveystalo
reports emissions arising from work-related travel by
employees and emissions from the
waste generated by the company’s operations.
Terveystalo aims to avoid unnecessary work-related
travel by encouraging to favour remote
meetings whenever possible.
Terveystalo’s personnel in Finland flew
a total of 0.8 (0.7) million
kilometres in work-related travel, corresponding to
85.5 (84.1)
tCO
2
e. Reimbursable work-related travel by Terveystalo’s
personnel in Finland totalled 2.7 (2.6)
million kilometres, corresponding to
448.2 (440.8) tCO
2
e. Terveystalo encourages its personnel to
choose low-emissions vehicles as company cars.
The average emissions
of the company cars used by
Terveystalo in Finland amount to
64 (72) gCO
2
e/km. In Sweden, work-related travel
by air generated
60.8 (45.1) tCO
2
e in emissions. The total
emissions from work-related travel by
the personnel in Sweden amounted to
260.4 (262.6)
tCO
2
Terveystalo’s goal is to minimise
mixed waste in all of Terveystalo’s operations
and forward as large a
share of waste as possible to
be recovered. The indirect emissions arising from
waste in Finland amounted to
42.6 (41.7) tCO
2
e. In Sweden, the amount of waste
generated and emissions from waste are
very low since waste is mainly
generated in offices. The emissions arising
from waste in
Sweden totalled 3.4 (2.1) tCO
2
2
emissions intensity is low due
to the nature of the
Group’s operations. In 2023, Terveystalo’s emissions
intensity
(Scope 1 and 2, market-based)
relative to revenue was 2.1 (1.2)
gCO
2
e/EUR. Relative to the number of
employees, the emissions
intensity was 0.4 (0.2) tCO
2
e. The figures also include Terveystalo’s operations
in Sweden.
