Apetit Group ‘to run 100% operations on renewable energy’

Apetit Group, the Finnish food company, has announced from 1st April, all the electricity used by its operations will be generated from renewable energy sources.

All of its facilities will run on wind power, a step which is expected to reduce the company's emissions from company's energy consumption by 40 tonnes, a 29% decrease.

Additonally, Apetit plans to reduce its carbon footprint with the launch of a new bioenergy plant at the end of 2020,

Esa Mäki, Apetit’s CEO, said: “The new bioenergy plant allows our Kantvik plant to move away from fossil fuels. Thanks to the bioenergy plant and the adoption of renewable energy sources, we are making great strides in our corporate responsibility.

"Reducing our carbon dioxide emissions by almost one-third in April will integrate sustainability more firmly into all of our operations.

"And next year, we can offer our customers vegetable oil that has been milled using renewable bioenergy."
