Sustainability reporting
Matkapojat Oy has started to actively develop different aspects of responsibility. Since emission calculations have become part of the company's internal routine, we are constantly analyzing the amount of emissions and their causes. Based on the analysis, we will continue to work to reduce emissions by choosing the purchases necessary for the company's own operations more responsibly than before, if possible.
