Towards a more prosperous circular economy society

The circular economy helps protect the environment, renews economic structures, and supports the decoupling of resource consumption from economic growth. Additionally, it can serve as an enabler of social sustainability, ensure the availability of critical materials, and reduce strategic dependencies.

Our focus areas for sustainable business

Environment

We are committed to providing our customers with comprehensive solutions that enable safe and cost-efficient solid waste management. Our customers’ largest operational cost comes from fuel, while the most significant factor impacting their revenue is production capacity. We are constantly working to improve the energy efficiency of our machines, diversify energy sources and increase the processing capacity of various waste fractions. In addition, we offer our customers product life-cycle support, also giving end-of-life machines a second life through our Tana Second Life solutions, which enables exceptional long-term environmental performance.

People

Tana takes responsibility for its employees. Employee well-being, inclusion, equality, commitment and a safe work environment are extremely important to us. We value our employees’ backgrounds, talents and vision as well as the diversity of their education and experience, which we believe is the source of our success. We have no tolerance for harassment and discrimination of any kind.

Management

Our scalable business model and long-term partners ensure an outstanding price-quality ratio. Quality at Tana means that we keep our promises while maintaining the highest ethical standards. We value honest partners with vision, and we also support our employees’ skills and expertise, in order to ensure solutions of the highest quality. We work in close cooperation with our customers to gain a better understanding of their needs and expectations. Tana has zero tolerance for corruption and bribery.

Tana – Tough machines, soft values

We believe that the foundation of a sustainable planet lies in a global circular economy that reconciles human needs with environmental well-being. Our aim is to keep natural resources in use for as long as possible once they have been extracted. In the early stages of the circular economy transition, this is made possible through intelligent solid waste management technologies that enable efficient and more sustainable solutions for future generations. Our objective is to turn waste into value – value for the user, the owner, and the planet.

At Tana, our commitment to sustainability is guided by our vision, strategy, and values. Our vision is to deliver the highest added value in the industry to our customers by offering durable, long-lasting waste processing equipment and localized lifecycle services. In line with our strategy, we focus on mobile pre-treatment technologies for solid waste, namely shredding and separation. In addition, we are expanding our service business, for example, by giving end-of-life machines a second life through our Tana Second Life solutions.

Because we refurbish, rebuild, or upgrade our own products based on customer needs, our equipment is designed to be repairable from the outset. Refurbishment has proven successful from complete machines down to individual components. We recognize the significance of the circular economy hierarchy and strive to strengthen actions at the top levels of the value order in our business operations – for instance, by offering the possibility to rent our waste processing machines without the need for ownership. However, no one can build a circular economy alone, which is why we are constantly reaching toward more diverse value chain networks.

We support our employees in acting efficiently, boldly, and responsibly – for the benefit of the environment, people, and the economy. Our company’s primary mission is to create a meaningful positive handprint in the circular economy, thereby generating value for our stakeholders. We also aim to be an attractive and safe workplace that respects human rights and embraces diversity within the work community. We expect our business partners to adhere to the same principles. Our operations comply with legislation and ethically accepted business practices.

We have initiated measures related to sustainability performance indicators, value chain data collection, and sustainability targets, as Tana Oy will become subject to the European sustainability reporting obligations either in 2025 or 2027, depending on the national implementation schedule of the CSRD Omnibus legislation.

Code of Conduct

At Tana, we believe that how we do business matters just as much as what we achieve. This Code of Conduct reflects who we are and how we choose to operate in a world that demands responsibility, transparency, and courage. 

The Code provides practical guidance for ethical decision-making and acting with integrity across all areas of our business. It applies to each of us regardless of role or location and sets clear expectations for how we interact with one another and with the world around us. It also reflects our mission to turn waste into value, our vision to lead the way in sustainable waste management, and our core values.
