We are a sustainable connector of Northern life
We build Finnish society by taking responsibility for people, the environment and society. Sustainability is a key part of our strategy and everything we do. In addition to ourselves, we also require our partners to act sustainably.
As we grow, we want to do it not only profitably but also sustainably in all respects. We approach sustainability comprehensively, taking into account the environment, social sustainability, and ethical and responsible governance. These areas form the foundation of our ESG framework (Environment, Social and Governance). As part of this framework, we also consider health, safety, environment and quality (HSEQ).In addition, we are committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
It is important to us to be a safe and inspiring workplace for all Destia employees. We pursue our goals in line with our values – fairness, togetherness, renewal and success.

Environmental sustainability
Our goal is to be a pioneer in low-carbon and sustainable infrastructure construction. We actively reduce our carbon dioxide emissions, utilize circular economy solutions, and promote biodiversity through our projects.
Social sustainability
Our goal is to enable sustainable and meaningful careers for our employees throughout their working life. We strive to provide a safe, healthy, and equal work environment where everyone can thrive and develop according to their strengths.
Ethical and responsible governance
Our aim is to be a forerunner in ethical and responsible governance. We manage our operations with integrity, transparency, and long-term commitment. Good governance for us means an ethical corporate culture, a sustainable supply chain, and commitment to comprehensive security.
The ACT sustainability programme
Our sustainability programme comprises eight commitments covering all of our operations. These commitments include projects and concrete measures that help us promote the sustainability of our operations.
Ahlström Collective Impact
An important part of our sustainability work is the unique Ahlström Collective Impact community, through which we support UNICEF Finland in promoting children’s rights. Children’s learning is facing a global crisis, and investing in education is one of the most effective ways to drive sustainable structural change.
