Sustainability

Equal and healthy working community

Our success is based on our experts, and their well-being is of principal importance to us. We promote our employees’ well-being by supporting their health and ability to work, and by creating an open and supportive working environment. Our community spirit and employee satisfaction levels are high and are measured weekly, allowing us to identify and address any issues quickly. The eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score) is 58, which is a very good result.

Equality is strongly linked to Greenstep’s core values. We monitor how equality is practiced through our annual employee satisfaction surveys. Greenstep’s Code of Conduct has been developed together with our employees and sets out the main principles that guide the company. It ensures that our business practices are ethical and that we’re trustworthy to our customers. The principles are introduced to all greenstepers during their induction period and all employees are committed to upholding them in their daily work.

High-quality competence development

The will to reinvent and develop ourselves is one of Greenstep’s values and a promise of quality to our customers. We support our experts in their development through customer projects and internal training. Greenstep Academy offers versatile and high-quality topical training events and longer training paths for each greensteper.

Competence development is part of our social responsibility and we participate in various cooperation projects with universities, for instance. In addition, our subsidiary Carestep was founded to develop competency. Carestep provides high-quality cleaning services to its customers and uses its profits to train and advise its employees.

Environmentally sustainable choices

We make environmentally sustainable choices in all our operations and aim to minimize our carbon footprint. For example, here are some highlights from our latest sustainability report:

• Our carbon intensity for a 12-month period averaged 2.32 tCO₂e per employee and 21.45 tCO₂e per €1 million turnover.
• 65% of our offices are powered by carbon-free electricity, and 39% use renewable heating.
• We have conducted a climate risk assessment to identify possible challenges such as heat stress and flooding, while also uncovering opportunities in ESG services and sustainable finance.

Economic sustainability and governance

Our offices in various locations in the Nordic, Netherlands and Baltic countries support the business development of our local customers and local innovation, employment and growth. We want to reward our employees each year for their good work and for making success possible, which is why we distribute 10% of the Greenstep Group’s operating profit directly to our employees as a “Together” bonus.

At Greenstep, economic responsibility also includes direct responsible investments in Finnish growth companies and renewable energy. For example, we committed €4 million in wind energy projects through Ventic Oy to support the transition to a carbon-neutral society.

We are proud taxpayers and do not engage in aggressive tax planning. We contribute to building a prosperous society by paying our total taxes in each country where we operate. We have calculated our tax footprint, which can be found in our 2024 sustainability report.
