Sustainability targets

Our sustainability targets express our focus areas and provide information on Wärtsilä’s performance. The targets are approved by our Board of Management and their implementation is monitored on a regular basis. Each target has a designated owner responsible for preparing action plans, overseeing their implementation, and reporting on progress. The management teams of the businesses and global functions oversee the execution of target actions. 

TARGET

PROGRESS

Set for 30: To become carbon neutral in our own operations.

Schedule: 2030

By the end of 2025, Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduced by 53% compared to the baseline value (3 years average, 2019–2021), which is aligned with our target.

Our efforts in 2025 focused on low- and medium-cost measures, such as electrification and energy efficiency across our operations, reducing GHG emissions from engine testing, and increasing the share of self-generated and purchased renewable electricity.

Set for 30: To provide a product portfolio that will be ready for zero carbon fuels.

Schedule: 2030

The development of hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol technologies progressed
significantly in 2025, with hydrogen moving to prototype testing and the first
ammonia delivery passing factory acceptance testing. Methanol research continued alongside intensive customer support for the industrialised W32M technology.

Set for 30: 25% reduction of suppliers' GHG emissions by 2030 compared to the 2024 baseline.*

In 2025, Wärtsilä collected Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions data from its Tier 1 direct suppliers to establish the 2024 baseline.

Reduce energy consumption by at least 7% (29.9 GWh) from 2015 levels in terms of absolute consumption.

Schedule: 2025

By the end of 2025, energy savings of 34 GWh were achieved, enabling Wärtsilä to
exceed its final 2025 target.

Going forward, Wärtsilä remains committed to its energy saving efforts and has established a new target for the period 2026–2035.

Reach the long-term goal of zero injuries.

Schedule: ​Continuous target

In 2025, the corporate total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIF) was 2.44,
which was 11% higher than in 2024.

Zero injuries to contractors: we aim to reduce the total recordable injury frequency on a yearly basis.

Schedule: Continuous target

In 2025 the contractor total recordable injury frequency rate (Contractor TRIF) was 4.05, which was 19% lower than in 2024.

Achieve long-term goal of 100% individual development plan coverage for eligible population. 

Schedule: Continuous target

 

At the end of 2025, the plan coverage was 82.1% for eligible population.

Achieve a Code of Conduct training coverage of 100%.

Schedule: Continuous target

At the end of 2025, the Code of Conduct training coverage was 94.3% of all employees.

Achieve an anti-corruption training coverage of 100%.

Schedule: Continuous target

At the end of 2025, the anti-corruption training coverage was 94.2% of all employees.

* The target covers Tier 1 direct suppliers of Wärtsilä and their Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to deliveries to Wärtsilä. This is a relative target, which baseline is defined by Wärtsilä-allocated GHG emissions and spend.
