Report scope
Wärtsilä's Sustainability Reporting 2007 is prepared according to the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (G3). Wärtsilä reports those core indicators which are of most relevance to its operations, products and stakeholders. The Sustainabilaity section of the Annual Report examines the company's economic, environmental and social performance. The core indicators chosen are of importance at the corporate level.
Coverage of the report
This report covers Wärtsilä’s Businesses. At the company level the report includes the parent company and its subsidiaries as well as its manufacturing, service and sales units. The report excludes Wärtsilä’s associated companies, joint ventures and supply chain companies.
Wärtsilä’s Power Businesses comprise the Group’s Ship Power, Power Plants and Services businesses and its Industrial Operations. The first three of these generate external net sales while the fourth is an internal function.
