Peikko Group has signed an agreement with the City of Lahti regarding cooperation with Carbon Neutral Construction Development Center. The center has been created to continue the city’s work for environmental protection and development. It aims to find new ways and technical solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of construction and enable related pilot projects to take place in Lahti.

As part of this cooperation Peikko will continue to develop its DELTABEAM® Green product offering. Peikko’s goal is to manufacture at least half of the Finnish DELTABEAM® production as low carbon products and thus, decrease the amount of emissions by 25% by 2025. In addition, the parties will be the main organizers of a conference, Construction Goes Circular, to be held in Lahti in October 2021. The conference is part of the official program of the Lahti Green Capital year.

“We are pleased to start cooperation with the City of Lahti and its Development Centre for Carbon Neutral Construction. Peikko wants to do its share to reduce CO2 emissions and promote circular economy related innovations. This kind of cooperation in our home city is a fantastic opportunity that meets well our goals,” says Topi Paananen, CEO of Peikko Group Corporation.

“We are excited to start cooperation with Peikko, a company firmly rooted in our city but at the same time very international. We are looking forward to a very practical cooperation as simple solutions are the ones that change the world for the better,” says Juhani Pirinen, Director, Carbon Neutral Construction Development Center.
