The foundation for sustainability in the State Treasury’s activities is laid by our agency’s shared values and strategy as well as the legal framework for good governance. Sustainability is taken into account in decisions concerning the agency’s operations and in the pursuit of its objectives.
“Sustainable public administration and a sustainable future are our shared goal.”
This perspective is reflected in questions such as whether our operations are transparent, can withstand scrutiny, are sufficiently open, and are aligned with the agency’s values and the interests of taxpayers.
The State Treasury shares a common view that promoting sustainable development is important.
Development of equality and non-discrimination at the State Treasury
The State Treasury has drawn up an Operational Equality and Non-Discrimination Plan for 2024–2026. The plan addresses the goal-oriented promotion of equality and non-discrimination in the State Treasury’s external service provision and public authority functions.
The following five themes have been selected as development priorities for 2024–2026:
-
- Personnel awareness of equality and non-discrimination and related competence.
- A clear structure and language in the information produced by the State Treasury.
- The State Treasury’s ability to provide services in different languages.
- Accessibility of online services and visual communications.
- Clear policies and guidance for situations involving the interpretation of legislation.
Environmental Responsibility
The WWF Green Office certificate ceased to be in use on 27 September 2026. The State Treasury held the WWF Green Office certificate from 7 April 2010 onwards.
The State Treasury’s first environmental programme was introduced on 23 January 2008. Promoting sustainable development is an ongoing activity at the State Treasury. It is coordinated by the Eco Group that consists of representatives from all departments.
Sustainability Reporting at the State Treasury
During 2021–2024, the State Treasury prepared Sustainability Report in accordance with the Guidelines for Sustainability Reporting in Central Government. The central government’s guidelines on sustainability reporting were repealed on 1 December 2025, and annual reporting based on the common reporting framework has therefore ended.
