Sustainability


Transforming the construction and real estate industry

Sustainability is at the core of our offering. Through our circular business model and innovative collaborations, we create buildings that are flexible, durable, and designed for a changing world. With care and intention, we shape the future—one conscious decision at a time.

We create sustainable, flexible buildings in wood and steel. Our solution tackles two major climate challenges in construction: reducing wasteful overbuilding (for example underused government offices in Finland have an average occupancy of 28%*) and cutting real estate emissions, which make up 37%** of global building industry greenhouse gases.

Our sustainability journey


During the last years we have put effort into digging deep into our carbon calculations, GHG Protocol (Scope 1, 2 and 3) , and for instance, we now know that 97% of our emissions come from our value chain.

In 2024 we did a third-party-verified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Parmaco products. The LCA showed, that up to 72% of emissions can be avoided by moving a building three times rather than constructing new ones. Additionally, in 2024, Parmaco performed a Double Materiality Analysis identifying six material focus areas: climate change, circular economy, workforce, value chain workers, end users, and business conduct, shaping the foundation of our sustainability strategy.

Journey highlights


Fossil-free hybrit®-steel

2024: First in the world to construct carbon-neutral buildings using
fossil-free hybrit®-steel through a patented technology with SSAB; with first
CO2-free building that will be installed in 2025
