Purpose, vision and values

Our purpose: Creating a healthier planet for our children

Everything we do at Neste serves one purpose: To create a healthier planet for our children. Over the past ten years, Neste has transformed from a local oil refining company to becoming a global leader in renewable and circular solutions. 

Our purpose pushes us forward to search for new ways to reduce the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere, and to innovate circular solutions to reuse carbon again and again. Our aim is to become a global leader in renewable and circular solutions.

We are in the business of combating climate change and driving a circular economy
