Green win for Wärtsilä

Wärtsilä?s first environmental report was ranked the joint best separate environmental report in 2001 in a competition held in Finland annually to judge the environmental and social responsibility of Finnish companies reporting. The report, written in English, covers Wärtsilä?s research and development activities and factory operations and their environmental impacts. The next report will be published in two years. The prize committee said Wärtsilä?s report was “the first report to be published by a Finnish mechanical engineering company. It has been prepared with highly ambitious objectives.” The whole reporting competition, comprising the report, Internet pages and annual report, was won this year by wholesale and retail chain Kesko Oyj.
