Principles and management of responsibility

Our responsibility is based on our Code of Conduct, which is approved by the Board of Directors, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We are committed to respecting human rights in accordance with the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Global Compact, and the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. We are a member of the UN Global Compact.

Digia’s Board of Directors, supported by its committees, holds ultimate responsibility for sustainability within the Group. Sustainability is part of the company’s Board-approved business strategy, and the Board also approves the company’s sustainability focus areas and targets for each strategy period. The Board of Directors likewise approves the sustainability targets to be included in the incentive scheme for management, complete with their relative weightings. As a rule, the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee reviews topical sustainability issues on a quarterly basis.

The CEO is responsible for implementing sustainability measures and reaching sustainability targets within the company. Within the Management Team, it is the Senior Vice President of HR, Culture and Sustainability who is responsible for the routine management of sustainability issues. Digia’s Management Team formed a separate Sustainability Steering Group in which the Head of Sustainability is the presenter. The steering group thoroughly discusses sustainability-related action and developmental needs on the basis of any identified risks or opportunities and their impacts on Digia’s operations

Sustainability reporting

Starting from 2024, we will report on our sustainability in accordance with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) as part of the Board of Directors' report. Our Sustainability Statement has been verified by an independent authorized sustainability audit firm.

Diverse collaboration with our stakeholders is a crucial part of developing both internal and external sustainability reporting. We also report on our sustainability through platforms such as the UN Global Compact CoP, EcoVadis, Nasdaq ESG, CDP, and Asiakastieto.

UN Global Compact

We are part of UN Global Compact, the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative. Digia commits to UN’s ten principles related to human rights, working conditions, environment and the prevention of corruption, as well as to developing business responsibility through the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

ESG-Transparency

Nasdaq ESG Transparency Partner

We are a Nasdaq ESG Transparency Partner. The partnership is granted to companies that report about their responsibility transparently and openly. Nasdaq provides a platform for investors in particular that provides ESG information on listed companies. 

Ecovadis 2024

Ecovadis

Digia has reported to Ecovadis since 2016. EcoVadis experts are the world’s leading sustainability assessors. They assess how well companies comply with requirements and what action they take in relation to the environment, labour and human rights, ethics and procurement. We use the results to help us monitor our own development.

CDP Discloser 2024 badge

CDP

CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) reporting is a global disclosure system where companies can report environmental data to investors and stakeholders. CDP reporting involves a detailed assessment of companies’ environmental impacts on climate change, water and forests, and the strategies employed to mitigate these risks.

EU Taxonomy

The EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU 2020/852) seeks to define standardised, science-based assessment criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities. Digia’s field of business is to develop IT solutions and engage in related projects, maintenance and consulting.

Digia reports taxonomy-eligible net sales and expenses as climate change mitigation under Activity 8.1 (Data processing, hosting and related activities) and Activity 8.2 (Data-driven solutions for GHG emissions reductions). However, for projects implemented in 2024, Digia does not report net sales for category 8.2. Due to the nature of its business operations, Digia estimates that the size of its taxonomy-aligned operations may vary significantly from year to year due to reasons such as variations in the demand for climate change-related, customer-specific solutions and changes in the supply chain.

Taxonomy-aligned turnover amounts to EUR 51,6 million which is 25,10 per cent of Digia’s total turnover.
