DNA's new sustainability report shows the good results in work for the benefit of climate, diversity, and digital equality

The new report has been compiled in accordance with DNA's new sustainability programme, which was renewed in 2022. It also shows DNA's new, more ambitious sustainability targets.
Almost 55% decrease in own emissions
In 2022, direct and indirect emissions resulting from DNA's own emissions (Scope 1 and 2) amounted to 7,581 tonnes of carbon dioxide, which is 54.5% less than in 2019 (13,900 tonnes of carbon dioxide). The most significant category of DNA's own emissions is the carbon footprint of electricity consumption (Scope 2), where DNA also achieved a commendable 28% decrease compared to the previous year.
"DNA's emissions decreased last year, thanks to green electiricty and energy-efficient solutions. We'll continue the same good work this year," says Tuuli Nummelin, Sustainability Manager at DNA.
DNA's climate work is still being boosted by participation in the Science Based Targets initiative. At the Group level, the target is to have a genuine, i.e. emission-free, Scope 1 and 2 for operations in the Nordic countries by 2030, and to ensure that at least two-thirds of DNA's suppliers will be covered by the SBT targets by 2025.
The ISO 14001 certified environmental management system
In 2022, DNA's environmental management system received the ISO 14001 certificate, which guarantees commitment to environmental responsibility and its continuous development.
Over 26,600 trained in digital skills
In 2022, DNA for the first time measured its success in digital equality work. This was measured by the number of people who were trained in digital skills. Together with its seven partners, DNA managed to train 26,616 people in digital skills. DNA's partners are Protecting Children, Plan International Finland, SOS Children's Villages, Helsinki Missio, Hope ry, the Central Union for Elderly Care and Mimmit Koodaa.
Aiming for a humane and one-of-a-kind DNA
All in all, DNA's goal is to develop into a work community that better accepts differences and is diverse. DNA has succeeded in advancing the goal, as many as 92% of DNA employees feel that they can come to work as they are, and 83% feel that they can advance their careers regardless of their background.
DNA has also launched a website called One of a kind, which describes the company's diversity goals. This year, for the second year, the sustainability report included a gender category. According to the data, DNA does not yet employ non-binary people but taking the category into account is also an incentive for employees to be openly themselves also in working life.

DNA:n iäkkään kupariverkon palvelut päättyvät Itä-Suomessa vuosien 2023–2024 aikana – katso kuntakohtainen aikataulu14.3.2023 09:45:00 EET | Tiedote
DNA:n kupariverkkojen purkaminen Itä-Suomessa alkaa loka–marraskuussa 2023 ja jatkuu vuonna 2024. Purkamistöitä tehdään pääosin Pohjois-Savossa, mutta pieneltä osin myös Etelä-Savossa ja Pohjois-Karjalassa. Kupariverkkoa on käytetty viime vuosina lankapuhelinten ja vanhan xDSL-laajakaistatekniikan yhteyksiin, mutta yhteensä kupariverkko on palvellut televiestintää jo yli 160 vuotta. Nykyaikaisiin tarpeisiin kupariverkko on kuitenkin riittämätön, ja sen korvaajaksi on tarjolla kattavasti moderneja kaapeli-, kuitu- ja mobiiliratkaisuja.
