Public Sector – State and Municipalities
In the public sector, voluntary programs and commitments are a key means of putting energy and material efficiency, climate goals, and the circular economy into practice. They provide a common framework for setting, monitoring, and comparing targets, and support long-term development at various levels of government.
For municipalities and cities, the focus is often on practical implementation, while the role of the central government, ministries, and agencies is emphasized in providing guidance, creating the necessary conditions, and ensuring effectiveness.
Motiva offers expert services to public sector actors that support goal-setting, implementation, and impact monitoring at various levels of government.

Sustainable Public Procurement
Sustainable public procurement is a key means of steering society’s resources wisely and promoting long-term economic, social and environmental well-being. The Finnish public sector purchases goods and services worth approximately EUR 38 billion each year, representing around 13% of gross domestic product.
Circular Economy
The transition to a circular economy is a profound social and economic change that affects almost all actors. It is a broad systemic change that will transform our entire economic system in a sustainable direction.
Material Cycle Data Platform and Ecosystem
Material cycles must be made more efficient to save resources and mitigate climate change. At present, waste, surplus and side-stream materials from businesses and municipalities are not recovered because they cannot find users or recovery sites.
