Advancing Sustainability Together: How Samlink Brings Global Goals to Life Locally 

As part of Kyndryl, Samlink is committed to building a more sustainable future through concrete, measurable actions that align with our parent company’s global corporate citizenship strategy. Kyndryl has set an ambitious target to reach net-zero emissions by 2040, and Samlink is supporting this goal by leveraging energy-efficient data centers used in our service delivery, along with transparent reporting and active employee engagement. 

Sustainability is more than just reducing emissions—it’s about long-term responsibility and business resilience.

1. Reducing Carbon Emissions Through Smart Infrastructure

At the global level, Kyndryl’s sustainability journey focuses on transforming energy consumption and modernizing data center environments. In its article 3 Ways Kyndryl Embraced Sustainability and Net Zero Emissions Goals, the company outlines a three-pronged strategy to reduce gas emissions, engage customers in climate action, and build an internal culture of environmental responsibility. 

Samlink contributes to this mission by integrating sustainable energy solutions into its operations in Finland. Both Jyväskylä and Espoo offices are designed with energy efficiency in mind, and our data centers run on certified renewable electricity. 

“Sustainability is more than just reducing emissions—it’s about long-term responsibility and business resilience,” says Sara Ramakers, CEO of Samlink. 

By investing in energy-efficient infrastructure and hybrid environments, Samlink ensures that its solutions not only serve today’s needs but also support clients’ own sustainability goals.  

2. Enabling Customers to Meet Their Sustainability Goals

Kyndryl helps organizations around the world adopt technology that advances their sustainability targets. Samlink mirrors this approach by increasingly considering sustainability in every customer solution. 

As part of our sustainability roadmap, Samlink began preparations for Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) reporting at the start of this fiscal year, implementing it gradually in alignment with Kyndryl’s reporting cycle. This also allows Samlink’s customers in the banking and financial sectors to benefit from data-driven insights into their own sustainability performance. 

“We aim to track our progress with precision and be ready to help our clients do the same. As regulatory standards evolve, we’re committed to staying ahead of expectations,” says Sirpa Auervirta, Head of Communications, Marketing & ESG at Samlink.

3. Empowering Employees as Sustainability Ambassadors

Kyndryl emphasizes the role of employees in achieving sustainability goals. At Samlink, this ethos is deeply rooted in the company culture. From workplace design to day-to-day practices, every Samlink employee is part of the environmental journey.

Being part of a global leader in corporate citizenship performance gives us access to innovative technologies and practices. 

“Being a part of a global leader in corporate citizenship performance gives us access to innovative technologies and practices,” Sirpa adds. “Kyndryl’s EcoVadis Gold rating places it in the top 5% of all companies evaluated. It sets a benchmark we aspire to uphold through local action.” 

Whether optimizing data center operations or rethinking how sustainability is communicated internally, Samlink strives to ensure that sustainability is not treated as a separate initiative. Instead, it is increasingly considered in decision-making across the organization.

Looking Ahead

Samlink’s journey continues, with a clear focus on corporate citizenship maturity, transparent reporting, and climate-conscious operations. Together with Kyndryl, we are advancing sustainability not as a distant goal, but as a daily practice—grounded in data, powered by people, and aimed at lasting impact. 

Stay tuned as we take the next steps in enabling a more responsible future.
