Federation’s environmental policy initiative encourages enterprises to become pioneers
The products, systems and services of the technology industry have an effect on the functioning and welfare of society as a whole. They can be used to reduce negative environmental effects not only within their own industrial sector but within other sectors as well.
The Federation of Finnish Technology Industries’ new environmental policy initiative will show enterprises the methods of environmental know-how and technology that will strengthen their competitiveness and ensure that they will remain competitive in the future. The policy initiative can be summed up in three statements:
• We are pioneers in environmental matters
• We act in a responsible way
• We have an effect on the world’s environmental efficiency
The aim of the policy initiative is to encourage and support enterprises to become pioneers in the development and exploitation of technologies which preserve the environment. Our strategic partners will be presented with joint actions for the solution of global environmental questions.
The Federation’s Working Group for Environmental Issues hopes that the policy initiative will give enterprises a concrete frame of reference and a tool to support and encourage them to take advantage of environmental know-how in the improvement of competitiveness.
