“We continuously seek ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.”

For example, in 2025, the Group reduced its Scope 1–2 emissions by 11% compared to the previous year. The reduction was achieved mainly through improved energy efficiency and the use of carbon-free energy. 

Kaisa Mattson, Group Head of Sustainability, Tokmanni Group

Our impactful climate work is based on climate targets in accordance with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). 

Tokmanni Group has near-term climate targets, officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in November 2025. The targets extend to 2030 and are based on the latest climate science and aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement.

Scope 1 and 2 emissions

The most significant emissions from our Group’s own operations originate from the consumption of heat and electricity in properties. Our Group aims to reduce these emissions and other climate emissions from its own operations through various energy efficiency measures, by switching to the use of electricity from fossil-free sources in all its domestic markets, and by increasing the share of renewable energy in the company’s energy use.

In terms of its own operations, Tokmanni Group has committed to reduce its absolute scope 1 ja 2 CHG emissions with 42% by 2030 from a 2024 base year*. The climate targets for own operations cover business operations in all the Group’s current operating countries where the Group has stores. Currently, these are Finland, Sweden and Denmark.

We measure emissions precisely in our stores, administration and logistics centres. In 2025, the Group’s Scope 1 emissions from our stores, office and warehouses decreased by 8.8% and market-based Scope 2 emissions decreased by 11.7% compared to 2024. Key actions to achieve this included: 

  • improving the energy efficiency of buildings 
  • installing solar power plants 
  • increasing the use of renewable energy. 

For example, the share of renewable energy was increased by 5.4%, making the total share of renewable energy 45.9% in 2025. The total energy produced from solar panels installed at Tokmanni Group’s locations was 8,503 MWh. Energy efficiency was improved and can be seen mainly through reduced emissions from heating and electricity.  

At the end of 2025, there were solar power plants installed in about 70 of our Tokmanni stores and on the roofs of our logistics centres in Mäntsälä, Finland. Whenever possible, we aim to install new solar panels when opening new Tokmanni stores or renovating old ones. For example, in 2025, we ordered the installation of new solar panels on the roof of one store. In 2025, the solar panels at our own sites produced 7,306 (2024: 5,208) MWh of solar electricity for our use and 1,197 (2024: 988) MWh for sale to the electricity grid. In 2025, the energy produced from the 34,595 solar panels on our own sites corresponded to 7.7% of our Group’s total electricity use. 

The implementation of the energy monitoring system EnerKey was continued during 2025. With this system, the Group monitors and reports its energy consumption across all its operating countries, aiming to achieve genuine energy efficiency measures, consumption savings, and data-verified climate impacts. The system implementation phase is nearing completion, and it is expected to be fully utilized during 2026 (status as of autumn 2026). 

In addition to the solar electricity we produce and the carbon dioxide-free electricity we purchase, the carbon dioxide emissions from our electricity use in Finland and Denmark were covered by energy origin certificates in 2025.  

Scope 3 emissions

The majority of our emissions are generated in the company’s value chain during the life cycle of products purchased and sold, referred to as scope 3 emissions. Within this category, purchased goods and services account for the largest share, representing 83% of Tokmanni Group’s total scope 3 emissions. Measuring production and use emissions is challenging, and our ability to influence them is limited. Therefore, we encourage our suppliers to engage actively in climate work and set their own science-based emission reduction targets. 

For this reason, Tokmanni Group has committed in its latest climate targets that 80.0% of its suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution will have science-based targets by 2030*. 2025 was the first year that supplier engagement was measured at Group level. The result showed that 44% of Tokmanni Group’s suppliers by spend have committed to science-based targets. The work towards reducing our value chain emissions continues, partly through supplier dialogues. 

* The near-term climate targets were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative in the original English language on 14 November 2025. “Near-term: Tokmanni Group commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 CHG emissions 42.0% by 2030 from a 2024 base year. Tokmanni Group also commits that 80.0% of its suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution, will have science-based targets by 2030.”

We combat climate change together with our suppliers

Reducing emissions is one of our key sustainability priorities at Tokmanni Group. Since we do not manufacture the goods we sell, it is particularly important that we encourage our suppliers to set ambitious science-based climate targets.
