Leave Your Car at Home for Zero Emissions Day on 21 September: Take the Public Transport, Cycle or Walk to Work, or Work Remotely
Tags
Castrén & Snellman invites its personnel, clients and business partners to leave their car at home on Friday and to commute by public transport, by bike or on foot. Or why not work remotely and avoid transport altogether?
Our firm was invited to join the Zero Emissions Day by the Climate Leadership Coalition, which we have been a member of since 2016. The Zero Emissions Day aims to give the Earth a day off from fossil fuel consumption, to call attention to the climate impacts of our daily decisions and to encourage everyone to make more sustainable consumption choices.
‘We always strive towards the best results, but not at the expense of the environment. That is why we are thrilled to participate in the Zero Emissions Day. We encourage our clients and colleagues who join the effort to spread the message by posting a photo of their remote office or journey to work on social media with the hashtag #Nollapäästöpäivä or #ZeroEmissionDay’, says Merja Kivelä, a Castrén & Snellman partner.
CLC members will mark the day with campaigns for their customers, employees and other stakeholders. They will also work together with schools. Read more on the website of the CLC.
Let’s work together to give the Earth a day off!

Lenders and Export Credit Agencies – EUR 514.4 million green project financing for Easpring Finland New Materials’ CAM plant
We acted as Finnish law legal adviser to the lenders and the export credit agencies in connection with the EUR 514.4 million green project financing for the development and construction of Easpring Finland New Materials Oy’s cathode active material (CAM) manufacturing plant in Kotka, Finland. The borrower, Easpring Finland New Materials Oy, is a joint venture owned by Beijing Easpring Material Technology, Finnish Minerals Group and LG Energy Solution. The financing was provided by six international commercial banks, with Société Générale acting as financial adviser and mandated lead arranger together with Natixis as co-mandated lead arranger, and DNB, ICBC, ING and Standard Chartered participating as lenders, with support from the export credit agencies Finnvera and Sinosure. The project represents a significant milestone for Finland and the European battery value chain by strengthening Europe’s domestic supply of cathode active materials, a key component in lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage applications. Once the first phase of the project is operational, the Kotka facility is expected to produce approximately 60,000 tonnes of cathode active material annually, making it one of the largest CAM production plants in Europe and supplying leading battery manufacturers across Europe.
