Managing Social Impact

We have a significant impact on the working conditions, equal treatment and privacy of our own employees. As some of our employees work in hazardous environments on construction sites and properties, occupational health and safety are essential sustainability themes for us. We are committed to promoting equality and diversity in our workplace, and we take care of the well-being of our employees.

For many years, we have been systematically training managers and our staff to strengthen a constructive, appreciative and positive culture. The central theme has been understanding diversity as part of a good work community. Our goal is to support employee experience, well-being, and work ability through selected trainings, such as psychological safety, positive feedback, engagement, and insight themes.

Supervisors have participated in advanced training on constructive and appreciative interaction, coaching management skills, as well as the key contents of work capacity management, such as development discussions, bringing up and early caring. We provide supervisors with support in demanding situations and carefully familiarize them with the responsibilities and rights of the supervisor.

We systematically monitor employee engagement, well-being, and employee experience through annual surveys. Each team will draw up a concrete action plan to support the development. Occupational safety topics are regularly discussed in the Occupational Safety Committee.

Providing quality products and services to our customers is a key part of our responsible business. In addition, we support local schools.

Due to our long and networked value chains, we are constantly developing our responsible sourcing practices to mitigate serious human rights risks in our value chain. This allows us and our customers to benefit from better products, services and new innovations.

Ensuring Ethical Business Practices

A strong corporate culture and values drive innovation and improve our ability to respond to market demands.

The experience of our employees and other stakeholders in our company helps to improve our performance, competitiveness and reputation. We make business decisions that promote long-term relationships with our stakeholders and ensure that our operations are financially sustainable, for example by designing our new solutions to be compatible with existing equipment, which extends the lifecycle of systems and supports sustainable modernization.

Fidelix’s Carbon Handprint – a Decisive Step Towards a Lower Carbon Future

Fidelix helps property owners and managers reduce their energy consumption by providing smart building automation solutions and products.

Through these solutions, we create a carbon handprint – meaning the emission reductions achieved in our customers’ operations. This carbon handprint is often greater than the carbon footprint of our own operations, as our solutions enable significant emission reductions in the buildings we serve.

At the same time, our solutions improve energy efficiency and economic performance, while supporting the transition to a low-carbon society.

A Briefly About Carbon Handprint

Carbon handprint means the positive climate impact of a company or a solution – in practice, how much the carbon dioxide emissions of others’ activities are reduced by the solution.

The concept can be thought of as a counterpart to the carbon footprint, which measures the emissions caused by the company’s own operations. For example, in the field of construction and property maintenance, there is a huge potential to reduce emissions, and that is what the carbon handprint of Fidelix’s solutions is aimed at.

How Fidelix Creates Carbon Handprint

Smart Building Management
Building technology automation optimizes heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting according to actual need. For example, in an office property, energy consumption can be significantly reduced by adjusting the equipment based on the utilization rate and utilizing outdoor temperatures. The result is typically 10-30% lower energy consumption, which directly reduces the property’s emission load.

Real-time Measurement and Optimization
Fidelix’s solutions continuously collect measurement data about the property: temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, utilisation rate and other key factors. Based on this information, the system automatically adjusts settings – or makes recommendations to property maintenance – even before problems arise. The result is reduced consumption peaks, more consistent energy use and better indoor air quality.

Wider Impact on the Circular Economy
Building automation also enhances maintenance practices and the lifecycle of equipment: when equipment is not running continuously at full power, their wear and tear slows down. Unnecessary equipment replacements and additional maintenance visits are reduced, which reduces indirect emissions, for example, from the manufacture of new equipment. Increasing energy efficiency and lifespan will contribute to the transition to a circular economy where the use of resources is as efficient as possible and the generation of waste minimized.

Carbon handprint means the positive climate impact of a company or a solution – in practice, how much the carbon dioxide emissions of others’ activities are reduced by the solution.

Intelligent building automation and control solutions effectively cut unnecessary consumption in properties.

Fidelix’s carbon handprint consists, above all, of the reduction in the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of properties. Intelligent building automation and control solutions effectively cut unnecessary consumption of real estate, prevent waste and enable real-time control. All of this translates into a significant carbon handprint that multiplies as solutions are deployed across a wide range of locations.

From both an economic and environmental point of view, it is clear that smart use of building automation is the right step towards an environmentally friendly and economically viable future. At the same time, as energy and climate goals become stricter both in Finland and internationally, it is precisely such solutions that play a key role. Fidelix’s carbon handprint is an example of how technology, know-how and continuous development can build a more sustainable society for all of us.
