Environmental responsibility is recognized in Enfo’s business and Enfo want to be an environmentally sustainable operator. Aim is to be a comprehensive environmental responsible business that supports both Enfo´s own and customers' sustainable development. Enfo's first CO2 emissions calculation was carried out during H2/2024. A sustainable future is built on action. The UN's Principles for Sustainable Development (Agenda 2030) and the Paris Climate Agreement (2016) set the direction for Enfo’s sustainability work. Enfo is also committed to complying with the objectives of the EU's CSRD.

Enfo has calculated the carbon footprint of its operations and identified that the majority of emissions are generated in the value chain, especially from purchased products and services. Direct emissions from own operations (scope 1) and emissions from energy consumption (scope 2) account for 1% of total emissions. The majority of emissions (99%) come from indirect scope 3 sources, the most significant of which are purchased goods and services (90%). Relative to 2023 as a whole, the company's total emissions amounted to 2644 t CO2e. From 1.6.2023 to 31.12.2023, emissions amounted to 1542 t CO2e.

Enfo aims to reduce the environmental impact of its basic IT services, both in its own operations and through its customers. As part of its ISO14001 environmental management system, Enfo has identified 56 environmental impact issues and eight target areas, such as reducing carbon footprint, reducing waste and supporting biodiversity. The aim is also to raise awareness of environmental issues and make responsible choices in areas such as energy use in data center services and equipment lifecycle management.

Enfo aims to optimize the energy consumption of data center, for example by using free cooling and reducing the use of compressors. The PUE value of the data center (1.24 in 2023) indicates the level of energy efficiency, and the energy used is CO2-free. Enfo also invests in maximizing the life cycle of equipment and in responsible recycling. In addition, Enfo ensures environmental responsibility throughout its supply chain by setting requirements for suppliers and auditing business-critical suppliers on a regular basis.

Enfo and Tietokeskus joint forces in an acquisition completed at the end of 2024. Going forward, Enfo will develop environmental responsibility more strongly together with Tietokeskus to build more sustainable IT solutions that support the well-being of both customers and the environment. As a first step, the mission is to identify commonalities and prepare for compliant CSRD reporting.
