Services for
sustainable development
2030
To the municipalities
We are familiar with the needs and wishes of the municipal sector, as we are part of the Tampere City Group and have provided services to the city throughout our existence. We offer municipalities a wide range of services, for example, to involve local residents or, for example, to improve hiking opportunities. We design ready-made advisory services to reduce municipal emissions, whether it is energy consumption or sustainable mobility, and we implement environmentally and environmentally friendly campaigns and events with years of experience. Read more about our ready-made concepts below or feel free to contact our experts, and we will design a service package that takes your needs into account.
From oil to renewables -municipal advice
Emissions from heating homes make up a significant part of Finland’s total emissions, and one of the most climate-damaging ways to heat a home is to do it with oil. In addition, it is expensive and many are surprised at how much money is saved by switching to oil heating as a renewable option. We know how to tell it, as well as many other good reasons to switch from oil to renewables.
What?
Impartial and fact-based advice for owners of oil-heated detached houses. The goal is cheaper and more environmentally friendly heating, without compromising on living comfort.
Why?
To save money for small house owners, meet the municipality’s climate goals, and support the local business.
Solution?
Carefully planned and targeted advice.

The municipality's own climate guide
Almost 70 percent of municipal greenhouse gas emissions come from the lifestyles of local residents. However, it is possible to cut these emissions with even simple everyday choices. A climate guide targeted at local residents inspires and entices them to make more sustainable choices, which means that the municipality’s emissions are reduced than by itself.
What?
Taking into account the backgrounds and needs of your municipality, a municipal climate guide has been implemented, which provides ideas and supports the residents on their way to more sustainable lifestyles.
Why?
To shrink the carbon footprint of local residents and through it the whole municipality and to curb climate change.
