Creating success through sustainable living

Sustainable living is a key challenge for our planet – and our opportunity.

Urbanization increases the pressure to build in growing cities, setting higher requirements on built environments. At the same time climate change requires us to rethink how resources are used. Lifecycle thinking becomes more critical.

We build functional and sustainable homes and environments in growing cities, making sustainable living easy. In addition, we develop, build and renovate schools, hospitals, commercial and public spaces and infrastructure. Our mission is to enable a smoother flow of sustainable living for people, businesses and society.

Mission

Creating better living environments.

The mission is the operating policy of our company and the reason why we exist. It answers the questions of what we want to do as a company and what we want to achieve. In our mission we have a strong customer focus and a clear purpose. As a developer and builder of better living environments, we have an important role to play in developing emission-free solutions for the built environment and in enabling our customers to live a sustainable and smooth everyday life.

Vision 2030

We are the expert partner in developing sustainable homes, spaces and cities - for a good life

YIT's success builds on nurturing and attracting professionals with diverse expertise. We want to find and employ the best professionals so that we can offer our customers a broad range of expertise, with technical, technological, social, economic, and societal understanding and insights. In an increasingly digitalised world, we want to ensure that YIT has the most competent people.

YIT aims to be the expert partner. We work closely with our customers, aiming to understand their needs, even those that are not always said aloud. Our relationship with our customers is close and collaborative. We cherish our strong reputation as a creative, collaborative, and constructive partner that delivers on its promises and more.

For YIT, sustainability is not just about being green; it’s all the ecological, social, and governance considerations. Sustainability guides all operations at YIT; we not only follow trends and standards but strive to be one step ahead in development. Through technological innovations, decades of expertise, and the extensive know-how of our teams, we are ready to challenge the obvious.

At YIT, we understand our customers – businesses, public representatives, and city residents alike – who create their living environment and live in the homes we build, move around in cities, and work in the premises we build. We do not offer one-size-fits-all solutions, but build our work on deep understanding and diverse knowledge of good life.

For a good life – also from the viewpoint of our employees. We want to offer a safe working environment and the opportunity to learn, develop, and grow together with YIT.
