“In the developing area of Vallila, we consider the environmental effects of our operations. Our current roasters have catalysts connected to exhaust ducts to minimize smoke and smell effects. In addition to this, the new roaster produces less noise and smells and enables uniform quality roasting,” says Meira’s Production Director Antti Koski.
As a part of Meira’s sustainability program based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the company has set science-based climate goals that are in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. Meira’s goal is to reduce operational emissions by 80 % by 2028.
The Company has improved energy consumption through its transition to renewable and CO2-free electricity and created a road map for switching to renewable district heating and replacing natural gas with biogas.
The goals of Meira’s sustainability program also include 100 % certified sourced coffee by the end of the year as well as using 100% recyclable packaging by 2030. In Vallila, the waste recycling rate has reached 80%.
