Transforming the business doesn't come by itself – it needs work and strong commitment – it needs people. ✨🤝

Together with a strategic decision to expand the company from a vehicle contract manufacturer to a multi-industry partner for contract manufacturing and industrial solutions in technology sectors like defense and coaches, we formed a commercial team to get things rolling.

Sales teams for automotive, defense, and industrial solutions, together with business and sales development, and marketing and communications, gathered yesterday to look back on the achievements as well as plan future actions.

We believe the strength in this unique transformation is in collaboration; the commercial team is only a part of the full power of our organization, with professionals and people competence built over 55 years.

Picture taken from the commercial team gathering yesterday in Uusikaupunki; a few members are unfortunately missing, but the team mascot “Samppa dog” found a spot. 😄

The strong interest in Valmet Automotive’s capabilities, services, and proven industrial expertise confirms the importance of reliable manufacturing partnerships in this evolving market.

We have reached a major sustainability milestone ahead of schedule: our recycling rate has increased to 70% (non-hazardous), achieving our 2027 target already in 2025.♻️

This progress reflects a systematic approach to waste management across our operations. We manage both non-hazardous and hazardous waste streams responsibly, with clear source separation, defined operational responsibilities, dedicated training, and full legal compliance for waste handling.

Guided by the waste hierarchy, we aim for waste prevention, reuse and recycling, working closely with our waste management partners to continuously improve performance. When recycling is not feasible, residual waste is directed to energy recovery.

A strong result and an encouraging sign that determined, practical actions can accelerate progress toward more sustainable operations.🌟

Community and supportive colleagues are among our greatest strengths.💙

According to our regular employee experience surveys, colleague support, psychological safety and a strong sense of belonging are all highly valued across our organization.

A collaborative workplace and a culture built on respect don't happen by chance – they are created through the everyday actions and commitment of all of us.

We strengthen our sense of community through long-term efforts to promote equality and inclusion, listen to our people, invest in learning and development, and create opportunities to connect both at work and beyond. This is reflected in our daily practices through:

🔹 promoting language equality
🔹 fair and equal recruitment practices
🔹 regular employee experience surveys
🔹 learning and development opportunities
🔹 shared events and activities
🔹 leisure and wellbeing initiatives
🔹 consistently addressing any inappropriate behaviour or harassment

Building an inclusive and supportive workplace is an ongoing journey. We remain committed to continuously developing our workplace, guided by the objectives set out in our Equality and Non-Discrimination Plan.🌟

Since 2020, we have cut our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by more than 90%.🌱

This progress has been driven by concrete actions across our operations, including:

✅ transitioning to 97% renewable electricity

✅ increasing the use of renewable fuels, such as HVO

✅ improving energy efficiency through process optimization, equipment upgrades and heat recovery

✅ expanding on-site renewable energy generation, including photovoltaic panels at our new Roof & Kinematics production facilities in Poland, complementing existing solar installations in Uusikaupunki

These actions reflect our ongoing commitment to more sustainable operations and measurable climate action. A strong step forward in reducing our climate impact and the work continues now in our value chain (Scope 3).
