Ponsse’s environmental commitment
Ponsse works to be the preferred partner in sustainable forestry.
Our aim is to develop and deliver products and services that support sustainable forestry, minimise the environmental impact of harvesting and promote the responsible use of natural resources. We develop our operations and products from a life-cycle perspective to reduce environmental impacts, improve resource efficiency and promote the circular economy.
Environmental responsibility is part of Ponsse’s strategic decision-making, risk management and business development. It supports Ponsse’s competitiveness, our customers’ success and long-term business. We regularly assess the environmental impacts, risks and opportunities of our operations and develop our operations in line with the principle of continuous improvement.
We comply with environmental legislation and other binding obligations in all our market areas.

Targets, monitoring and reporting
Ponsse’s environmental targets are based on the environmental themes material to our business, which are regularly assessed through double materiality assessments, risk management and stakeholder dialogue. We have identified the key environmental themes for our business: climate change, biodiversity and ecosystems, alongside resource use and the circular economy. We also monitor our other environmental impacts and develop our operations proactively, taking into account the identified risks and opportunities.
We report transparently on our targets, actions and progress each year in our externally assured sustainability report.
Incident reporting, responsibilities and continuous improvement
Ponsse has reporting channels in place for raising environmental concerns, reporting deviations and suspected misconduct and sharing observations. We process the reports appropriately and take the necessary corrective action. We develop our environmental management in line with the principle of continuous improvement.
This commitment applies globally to all Ponsse’s business operations, locations, products, services and personnel.
The Board of Directors approves the key principles and objectives of environmental responsibility and monitors their implementation as part of the company’s strategic steering and risk management. The Management Team is responsible for the implementation of environmental targets in their respective areas of responsibility, and the sustainability organisation coordinates the development, assessment and reporting of environmental work. Business operations and support functions identify, assess and manage their environmental impacts, risks and opportunities, and take the necessary measures. We encourage and engage our employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to promote climate and environmental responsibility.
