E-invoices would enable the utilisation and processing of structured data without manual work. The processing of card receipts could also be improved from manual to automated work. All of these would significantly reduce the use of paper and CO2 emissions. On a national scale the “results would be massive”, says a development manager Pirjo Ilola from the Federation of Finnish Financial Services.

The entire Finnish society makes a commitment, through the Finnish National Commission on Sustainable Development, to promote sustainable development.
