We don’t develop our sustainability only because we have to, we do it because we want to.
The Director of Communications and Sustainability is responsible for developing sustainability work, which is coordinated by a sustainability specialist. The entire personnel of the NLS are encouraged to take part in the development of the sustainability programme. Decisions affecting sustainability at the NLS are presented to and approved by the management team, led by the Director General of the National Land Survey of Finland.
Sustainability programme
The first NLS sustainability programme was completed at the end of 2021. The development of the ‘Responsibility for the Earth’ programme has involved representatives of stakeholders and many NLS employees from different parts of the organisation.
Our sustainability goals give us a framework for the development of sustainability. They guide decision making and our daily activities in a more sustainable direction and inspire us to identify and develop new acts of sustainability.
By the end of 2027, the NLS promises to advance a total of 50 acts of sustainability.
The NLS acts of sustainability cover the recognition of existing measures as acts of sustainability and also new measures introduced through the programme. Both are important: to make visible and better understand what we are already doing for sustainability and to make concrete promises of where we want to improve.
