Commitment to Carbon Neutrality

Hanken has signed the Climate Emergency Letter, an initiative started by SDG Accord - the university and college sector's collective response to the global goals.

By signing the letter, Hanken has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2030 among other commitments.

Hanken's short term goals towards a sustainable campus

Since 2010, we have been using World Wildlife Fund’s Green Office Environmental Management System and have undertaken many initiatives over the years to be a Green Office. The latest environmental programme can be found below which highlights our goals and objectives for carbon neutrality.

Our calculated carbon dioxide emissions from 2024 are 14 109 tCO2e market-based and 15 519 tCO2e location based. This includes the emissions from Hanken facilities, electricity and heating in Hanken owned and operated offices, purchased goods and services, fuel and energy related activities, waste generated and water used in operations, student and employee travel, student and employee commuting and teleworking, and Hanken investment portfolio. Detailed information about 2024 emission results can be found here and the summary of market-based emissions according to the GHG Protocol categories below.

We have offset our calculated carbon footprint annually in 2019, 2020 and partly in 2021.
