Driving climate action

Science shows that limiting global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels is critical to avoid severe impacts on people and the environment. To align with this, global emissions need to be halved each decade and reach net zero by mid-century. At Caverion, we take responsibility for our part in this challenge.

Caverion climate targets

Caverion (as part of Assemblin Caverion Group) has committed to reducing the climate impact of our operations and value chain. We aim to reduce 42 % of emissions from our own operations, 42% of emissions from fossil powered products and 42% of emissions from other value chain actions by 2030 from a 2023 base year.

Caverion is committed to leading by example. Thus, we have made a commitment to reduce the climate impact of our business. On our journey towards a low-carbon society, we have set near-term climate targets covering transition to CO2-free energy across our own operations, cooperation with suppliers to reduce supply chain emissions from material, services and subcontracting and cooperation with customers to reduce emissions from installed energy-using technologies. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which means that they have been independently verified as being in line with the 1.5°C climate target and the latest climate science.

Validated targets: Science Based Targets initiative has classified Assemblin Caverion Group’s scope 1, 2 and 3 target ambition to be in line with the Paris Agreement, goal to limit global warming to no more than 1.5°C. According to Assemblin Caverion Group’s near-term science-based targets, the company commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from a 2023 base year*, absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from use of sold products for sold fossil fuels 42% within the same timeframe, and all other absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 42% within the same timeframe.

*The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
Setting science-based climate targets is a key part of Assemblin Caverion Group’s sustainability ambitions.

Transition to CO2-free energy across our own operations

Science Based Targets Base year 2023  (tCO₂e)     Performance in 2025 (tCO₂e)     % change between 2023 and 2025   Key actions Highlights (2025)
  42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2023 base year*   50,333 35,266 -29,9%

Transition to CO2-free energy across our own operations

  1. Gradually electrification of service and business vehicle fleet
  • Increased charging infrastructure
  • Route optimization
  • Economical driving
  • Use of renewable diesel
  1. Gradual shift to using CO₂-free energy in own premises
  • Purchasing CO₂-free (renewable sources and nuclear power) energy
  • ISO 50001 energy management systems
  • On-site solar power
  • Co-location of premises, improving energy efficiency
Better utilization of premises  

Transition to CO2-free energy across our own operations

  1. Gradually electrification of service and business vehicle fleet
  • The Group had 10,697 vehicles in total, including 447 plug-in hybrids and 2,604 electric vehicles
  • The share of electrified vehicles in the fleet increased to 28.8% (from 24.8% in 2024)
  • 1% of fuel purchased was renewable diesel (up from 1.6% in 2024)
  1. Gradual shift to using CO₂-free energy in own premises
  • Total energy consumption in own premises decreased by 36.0% to 35,161 MWh, mainly due to co-location and better utilization of premises
The Group purchased 21,352 MWh of electricity, of which 44.9% was CO₂-free (renewable sources and nuclear power).  

  42% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from use of sold products for sold fossil fuels within the same timeframe  

29,534 42,636 +44,4%

Cooperation with customers to reduce emissions from installed energy-using technologies

Supporting customers in choosing electrical products over fossil-fuel-based products for example, by supporting them in shifting to electric devices and battery-operated technology  

Cooperation with customers to reduce emissions from installed energy-using technologies

  • Growth in sales of fuel-powered technologies, such as motors and compressors, increased GHG emission by 7.4% from a 2024
Action plan to identify the worst performing products and less-emitting technologies ongoing 2026  
  42% reduction in all other absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe   3,825,201 3,042,098 -20,5%

Cooperation with suppliers to reduce supply chain emissions from material, services and subcontracting

  • Requiring Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments and targets from key suppliers

Cooperation with customers to reduce emissions from installed energy-using technologies

  • Supporting customers to choose more energy efficient products and to identify the actual environmental impacts
  • Raising customer awareness and supporting the selection of more energy-efficient solutions through sales, marketing, and customer engagement is key to achieving climate targets
Continuously develops its procurement data and systems to identify and phase out underperforming products  

Cooperation with suppliers to reduce supply chain emissions from material, services and subcontracting

  • More than 17.3% (16.7%) of the Group’s greenhouse gas emissions came from purchased goods and services (Scope 3, category 1)
  • The Group encourages suppliers to reduce emissions by setting emission reduction targets. This requirement is included in the Supplier Code of Conduct and is monitored through supplier assessments, dialogue, and SBTi tracking
  • 3% of suppliers (by spend) had committed to and/or set SBTi targets (data coverage: 63.0% of total spend)
The Group continuously develops procurement data and practices to provide customers with information on the carbon footprint of materials and services. The aim is also to offer lower-emission material options to customers

Cooperation with customers to reduce emissions from installed energy-using technologies

  • Approximately 80.0% (80.1%) of the Group’s emissions came from the use of sold products (Scope 3, category 11)
  • Category 11 (Use of sold products) GHG emissions decreased by 16.5% due to the green transition of the electricity market. At the same time, sales of technologies and products that promote energy efficiency and the green transition increased, such as heat pumps, heating boilers, cooling systems, power distribution transformers and lighting systems.
The Group calculated and reported greenhouse gas emissions in several projects and service assignments. This enabled the setting of effective climate targets and action plans in cooperation with customers
