The Financial Times has once again included Nokian Tyres on the Europe’s Climate Leaders list. Being listed reflects the company’s strong progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and it is a recognition Nokian Tyres has earned every year since the ranking began in 2021. The list is compiled annually by the Financial Times and the research firm Statista, analyzing data of about 3,000 European companies.

The list includes 600 companies across all industries that have made the most significant progress in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions over a five-year period. Nokian Tyres ranked 29th. Besides Nokian Tyres, only one company from the Automobiles & components sector made it to the Top 100, and Nokian Tyres was the highest-scoring tire manufacturer.

“From using mostly renewable energy to building the world’s first full‑scale zero‑CO₂‑emissions* tire factory, our climate actions help pave the way for more sustainable mobility. We want to offer drivers safe, high‑quality tires that are made with continuously lower environmental impact as we continue moving toward net‑zero greenhouse gas emissions. This ranking by the Financial Times is a great recognition of our work,” says Susanna Tusa, VP of Public Affairs and Sustainability at Nokian Tyres.

The ranking is based on companies’ results in reducing absolute greenhouse gas emissions and emissions intensity as well as further climate-related commitments and collaboration with sustainability assessors, such as CDP and the Science Based Targets initiative. You can find the complete list and the detailed methodology at Europe’s Climate Leaders 2026: interactive listing.

• Higher load capacity at lower pressure: The Nokian Tyres Float King VF tire carries heavy loads at significantly lower pressures, reducing soil compaction and helping to maintain optimal field conditions. 
• XXL-sized ground contact: Nokian Tyres Flexforce® VF technology ensures an exceptionally wide and evenly distributed footprint, optimizing ground pressure distribution especially on sensitive, soft and moisture-variable soils. 
• Deep tread pattern: The specially designed deep tread pattern provides reliable grip and excellent self-cleaning properties, enabling efficient operation even in challenging field conditions. 

“Farmers and contractors are constantly looking for ways to improve yield reliability and reduce operating costs. Expanding the Float King VF family into key R26.5 sizes further strengthens the range and is a direct response to these needs,” says Tero Saari, Product Manager at Nokian Tyres.

Nokian Tyres plc (the "Company") has issued EUR 100,000,000 senior unsecured sustainability-linked notes in June 2023 with ISIN FI4000556444 (the "Notes"). The Notes bear a fixed annual interest rate of 5.125% (the "Initial Rate of Interest") and will mature on June 14, 2028. The Notes are structured around two key performance indicators and corresponding sustainability performance targets ("SPTs") tested on December 31, 2025 and reported no later than on April 30, 2026 (the "Reporting End Date"): SPT 1, targeting a reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions intensity, and SPT 2, targeting a reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions intensity from product use, both measured as CO₂e tons per production ton against a 2022 baseline (the "Emissions Condition").

Pursuant to Condition 4.2 (Step Up Margin) of the Terms and Conditions, the Company has decided to recalculate the SPTs and the related baseline intensity figures as a result of a Sustainability Recalculation Event. A Sustainability Recalculation Event exists, among other things, in the event of material disposals which result in a change to the value of the relevant emissions intensity by at least 5%. A further condition is that, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, the recalculation has no material adverse effect on the interests of the Noteholders. Recalculation is also permitted under Section 2.6 (Recalculation policy) of the Company's Sustainability-linked Bond Framework. The main driver for the recalculation is that the 2022 baseline figures set out in the Terms and Conditions include the Company's Russian operations, which were disposed of in March 2023. Because the Company's current emissions reporting does not include the divested Russian operations, the original baseline figures are not comparable with the Company's current reported emissions data. The inclusion of the Russian operations in the 2022 baselines resulted in SPT 1 being unduly easy to achieve whilst SPT 2 unduly difficult. The recalculation corrects this imbalance while maintaining the same ambition in terms of percentage reduction under both SPTs.

The recalculated 2022 baseline figures have been assured by the External Verifier. For SPT 1, the Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity baseline has been recalculated from 0.42 to 0.22 t CO₂e per production ton, with the 2025 threshold remaining at a 25% reduction and the recalculated 2030 target set at 0.08 t CO₂e per production ton, representing a 65% reduction. For SPT 2, the Scope 3 emissions intensity baseline has been recalculated from 23.71 to 28.61 t CO₂e per production ton, with the 2025 threshold remaining at a 7% reduction and the recalculated 2030 target set at 22.89 t CO₂e per production ton, representing a 20% reduction. By the testing date, the Company's Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity had been reduced by 47% and Scope 3 emissions intensity from product use by 19%. Consequently, Step Up Event (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) with respect to the interest payable on the Notes has not occurred and the interest rate remains at 5.125% for the remaining maturity of the Notes.

The Company will publish the Annual Sustainability-linked Bond Report, which will be available on the Company's website at company.nokiantyres.com/investors/financial-information/debt-information on April 30, 2026 at the latest.
