Sustainability supports Alma Media’s long-term value creation

Trusted brands, responsible use of data, leading digital marketplaces, independent journalism, strong governance and ambitious climate targets strengthen Alma Media’s competitiveness, risk management and ability to create long-term shareholder value.

Alma Media builds sustainable growth through leading digital marketplaces, media brands, data and technology. Sustainability is embedded in our business model, risk management and decision-making. It strengthens the trust of customers, users, employees and investors, while supporting the company’s long-term competitiveness and resilience.

Sustainability is integrated into our business

Alma Media’s sustainability approach is built around three key dimensions:

Trusted information and responsible services

Independent journalism, trusted marketplaces and responsible use of data form the foundation of our business. We develop services that help consumers and businesses make better decisions while improving efficiency in recruitment, housing, mobility and business operations.

Environmentally responsible digital business

More than 87% of Alma Media’s revenue comes from digital businesses. Our digital business model enables a relatively low environmental footprint while helping customers operate more efficiently and sustainably.

We are committed to Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)-approved climate targets that support limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Our goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from both our own operations and across our value chain by 2030.

Good governance and responsible use of data

Trust is one of Alma Media’s most important assets. We are committed to strong data privacy and cybersecurity practices, responsible use of artificial intelligence and high ethical standards across the Group. We do not tolerate corruption, discrimination or human rights violations in any part of our business.

Sustainability is an integral part of our business model, risk management and strategic decision-making. We believe that responsible business practices, strong customer relationships, proprietary data assets and continuous innovation support sustainable competitive advantages, profitable growth and long-term value creation. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in our markets and services, we are committed to using data and artificial intelligence responsibly to enhance customer value, improve efficiency and deliver trusted, secure and high-quality user experiences.

Sustainability is managed as an integral part of the Group’s strategy, and progress is reported annually in the Sustainability Report included in the Annual Report from page 36 onwards.
