Perspectives on the Kiilto´s Sustainability Report
For Kiilto, 2024 was the year of orientation, learning and preparations for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). It challenged Kiiltonians in all nine countries to rethink sustainability from both a financial materiality and impact materiality perspective.
The Sustainability Statement 2024 takes inspiration from the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the previously adopted Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard. It is based on Kiilto´s Double Materiality Assessment conducted during 2023-2024.
As the disclosure requirements between CSRD and GRI differ, some previously reported KPIs and metrics required by GRI will no longer be reported in this Sustainability Statement. The Sustainability Statement consists of four parts: general disclosures and three topical sections: Environmental, Social, and Governance information.
The environment lies at the core of Kiilto’s sustainability. Since launched in 2018, Our Promise to the Environment has been guiding our sustainability work and communication. As a chemical company, Kiilto can make the biggest impact in environmental issues as part of its sustainability. Some of the sustainability data is currently only available for Finland or the locations where Kiilto has production.
Kiilto has no separate director or function of sustainability. Accountability is integrated into Kiilto’s strategy, processes and culture, making it easier to change procedures quickly when shortcomings are identified. Our reporting process has been a good way to identify gaps while also validating existing practices. In the statement we strive to be open about the areas for improvement in Kiilto’s sustainability.
Previously published Sustainability reports are available on this same page. In 2022 the Sustainability Report consolidated sustainability data from all of Kiilto’s countries of operation for the first time and the report was done in English. The 2023 report continued these principles offering improved data and wider range of information. Regardless of the changes in European Commissions’ schedule and implementation guidelines of CSRD, Kiilto is committed to provide its customers and other stakeholders with transparent, comprehensive, and continuously evolving sustainability reporting.
