Scope of the reporting
Wärtsilä’s Sustainability Reporting is prepared according to the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) sustainability Reporting Guidelines (G3).
Wärtsilä reports those core indicators which are of most relevance to its operations, products and stakeholders. The Sustainability section of the web site and annual report examines the company’s economic, environmental and social performance. The core indicators chosen are of importance at the corporate level and are based on the core indicators of the G3 guidelines. Reporting of the product performance, which is done mainly on the internet (www.wartsila.com), describes the environmental aspects and impacts of Wärtsilä’s products, the measures taken by Wärtsilä to reduce these impacts, and the environmentally advanced solutions that Wärtsilä has developed.
Coverage of the reporting
The reporting covers Wärtsilä’s businesses. At the company level the reporting includes the parent company and its subsidiaries as well as its manufacturing, service and sales units. The reporting excludes Wärtsilä’s associated companies, joint ventures and supply chain companies.
Wärtsilä’s businesses comprise the Group’s Ship Power, Power Plants and Services businesses and its Industrial Operations. The first three of these generate external net sales while the fourth is an internal function.
