Lowering CO2 emissions
is in everyone’s interest
COVID-19 has dominated the air space during the last year,
without a doubt. The crisis has had a great impact on the
world and the way we do business. It’s been encouraging
to see the fi ghting spirit and resilience of people and
businesses during these uneasy times.
However, we had challenges to
face even before the Coronavirus.
Climate change is one of
them – and it won’t go away
unless we do something about it.
Almost all human activities end up
producing CO2 emissions, with the building
industry being – sadly – among the largest
culprits. That’s why we at Peikko are
constantly working towards as low carbon
footprint as possible.
We must always ask ourselves: Is there
a way to avoid emissions altogether? And if
the emissions are inevitable: Is there a way
to minimize them?
In the minimizing game, we have already
had some great successes.
For example, the recently launched
DELTABEAM® Green utilizes recycled
materials and optimized logistics for 50%
lower CO2 emissions when compared to
beams manufactured using virgin steel.
Our wind turbine foundations have been
constantly developed to use less materials
for ease and effi ciency in construction, as
well as lower prices and reduced emissions.
The new Gravity7 foundation is a prime
example of that.
And lastly, exciting horizons can be
seen in circular construction, which Peikko
has already pioneered. You are welcome
to take part in the Construction Goes
Circular conference here in Finland on
October 12 – for more information, go to
