The Port switched to carbon-free electricity
Together with its owner, City of Helsinki, the Port of Helsinki is committed to implementing the Carbon-neutral Helsinki 2035 action plan. Energy efficiency and the use of carbon neutral energy are central to this effort.
Progress towards the goal is made in accordance with the guidelines of the Carbon Neutral Port of Helsinki 2035 manifesto.
Reaching this challenging goal requires cooperation between all operators at the Port.
