Our vision

YIT is the expert partner in developing sustainable homes, spaces and cities - for a good life

For over 110 years, YIT has been building urban spaces. We have created iconic landmarks and efficient infrastructure to improve the quality of life. We’ve constructed buildings where people can do their best and we have built homes where people can thrive in their own unique ways.

Today, YIT employs more than 4,100 professionals in eight countries: Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. We are focused on building highly functional and sustainable homes and living environments in growing cities, building and renovating schools, hospitals, and industrial, commercial and public premises as well as building rails, roads, bridges, tunnels, and infrastructure facilities to enable sustainable living.

Megatrends support YIT’s business in many ways. Urbanization and demographic changes increase the demand for sustainable and vibrant living environments. Climate change and energy transition place demands for sustainable construction and green infrastructure in Europe. Digitalization and artificial intelligence require investments in data centers and global security needs have risen across our operating countries.
