Neste

Neste is the world's leading producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), transforming waste, residues and other raw materials into renewable fuels and into sustainable feedstock for plastics and other materials. Founded in 1948, it began as a Finnish oil refiner established in the aftermath of the Second World War and has since developed into a business spanning renewable energy, aviation, transportation and mobility, oil refining, and chemicals and feedstock.

The company employs more than 5,200 people, of over 60 nationalities, and operates in 17 countries across three continents. Production facilities are located in Finland, the Netherlands and Singapore, among other places, and the group runs Martinez Renewables, a joint operation with Marathon Petroleum in California that expands its renewable fuels capacity.

Its principal products are Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ and Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel™, both of which achieve significant greenhouse-gas emission reductions compared with the fossil fuels they replace. The underlying technical work covers biorefining, waste and residue conversion, renewable fuels production and circular-economy solutions for plastics and other materials.

Founded on a heritage of energy independence and public service, the company describes an urgency-driven, mission-focused culture oriented around cutting emissions and combating climate change. Its stated trajectory runs from oil refiner to a business focused on making sustainable energy available today rather than in the future.
