We’re here to save driving by making it sustainable
For us, sustainability means good customer experience, bringing the total costs of driving under control, and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions caused by driving. Sustainable driving requires a lot more than reduced emissions. If company car drivers and company car decision-makers fail to receive added value and lose control over the total costs of driving, emissions can’t be reduced in a sustainable way. Transportation plays a crucial role in reaching the climate goals. We believe that driving will change permanently as we move from the use of fossil fuels towards zero emissions. We defend the future of driving and the interests of our customers by preparing for change now, because we think it is also the most economically far-sighted option. That's how we make driving sustainable in every sense of the word. For us, change is not a threat but an opportunity.
At Secto, sustainability extends beyond driving. It is the core of our business, and it is clearly visible in our relationships with our partners and the society – as well as with every individual we encounter. Sustainability is enforced by our employees. We made our values, “Empathy is our superpower”, “We are trailblazers” and “Sustainability is at the centre of everything”, strong tools for leadership, and we emphasised the role of managers in leading our sustainable company culture. We want to set an example for others to follow – sustainability is simply good business.
We help our customers transition to sustainable driving
More important to us than our footprint is our handprint - how we help our customers achieve their goals. We provide our customers with seamless customer experience, improved control over the total cost of ownership, and a convenient transition to low-emission fleet to reduce the carbon footprint of their companies.
Secto wants to be part of the solution, not the problem. The joy of being involved in shaping a better society is a perfect icing on the cake.

Company cars play a vital role in EV adoption
In 2025, plug‑in vehicles accounted for 78% of newly registered company cars, compared with 56% of all newly registered passenger cars. This reflects a strong shift towards low‑emission mobility and supports the achievement of national and EU‑level climate targets for the transport sector. For a European country, the penetration rate of electrified vehicles is high.
During the January–November period, battery electric vehicles represented 54% of new company car registrations, while plug‑in hybrid vehicles accounted for 24%. Over the same period, battery electric vehicles constituted 36% of all newly registered passenger cars, and plug‑in hybrids made up 21%. This trend contributes to the reduction of transport‑related greenhouse gas emissions and supports progress towards climate neutrality objectives.
Leased cars are typically returned for resale after an average three-year lease period. They provide a quick and cost-effective way for both consumer and corporate customers to transition to low-emission driving. Currently, every fifth car on Finnish roads is either a current or former company car. Car leasing companies are Finland’s largest car buyers. This is why the types of cars that Secto and other providers offer to their customers have a significant impact on Finland’s entire fleet and its emissions.
Secto has risen to one of Finland’s thought leaders in sustainable driving
In 2023, the Finnish government considered removing tax benefits for low-emission company cars. If implemented, this decision would have slowed down the promising shift to low-emission vehicles and been against Finland’s ambitious climate goals. Secto were also engaged in active communication with decision-makers, both directly and through media. In the spring of 2024, the government decided to withdraw its suggestion and to continue providing tax benefits for electric company cars until 2029.
