Digia’s sustainability targets for the strategy period 2026–2028 cover the environment, people, and customers. They are also linked to long-term incentive schemes for management.
Digia published its updated strategy on 5 February 2026. During the strategy period 2026–2028, the company aims to expand into a European trusted partner in intelligent business, both organically and through acquisitions. Digia’s goal is to build sustainable growth of our business in balance with people and the environment.
As part of the objectives for the strategy period, Digia’s Board of Directors has approved sustainability targets that are also linked to the company’s long-term management remuneration.
Digia is developing a low-carbon and environmentally conscious value chain. During the strategy period, the target is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from Digia’s own operations (GHG Protocol scopes 1–2) by 50 per cent compared to 2024. The emissions reduction target has been prepared in line with science-based targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Digia committed to the SBTi initiative in 2024 and submitted its emissions reduction targets to SBTi for validation. The baseline for the updated climate targets is based on the Group-wide carbon footprint calculation for 2024. Climate targets aligned with SBTi represent a natural continuation of Digia’s previous work to reduce emissions across its value chain.
During the strategy period, Digia will continue to strengthen its skilled and diverse work community with a focus on well-being. The company aims to implement a transformation of competencies and continuous development in a way that ensures employees – and through them the company – have the capabilities to succeed in change. The target for the strategy period is to maintain an employee engagement index of 3.9 (scale 1–5), thus keeping engagement at a good level. The engagement index combines, among other things, Digia employees’ experiences of the meaningfulness of their work, skills development, day-to-day leadership, workload, and working conditions.
Digia is a reliable and trusted partner for its customers. Trusted partnership is based on deep customer understanding, thought leadership, and high quality. Digia has introduced a strategic customer experience index that specifically measures customers’ experiences of the proactiveness and insightfulness of Digia’s operations. The target level for this index during the strategy period is 4.0 (scale 1–5).
“Reducing our carbon footprint, taking care of employee well-being, and building excellent customer relationships play a key role as we build Digia’s sustainable business and growth. At the same time, we are in the midst of a major transformation as artificial intelligence fundamentally reshapes the market and the IT industry, and challenges us to renew our competencies and ways of working. The sustainability targets for our new strategy period bring sustainability actions into everyday operations and form a natural continuation of our long-term sustainability work,” says Pia Huhdanmäki, Senior Vice President, HR and Culture at Digia.
