Identity & Authority — The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Authority is strong but technically under-implemented in schema. While the site names specific IR contacts like Ingela Ulfves and Rauno Tiihonen, it fails to connect them via Person schema or sameAs links to professional profiles. The Organization schema is basic and lacks the depth of expertise properties that would mirror the company’s claimed ‘decades of expertise.’ The technical hierarchy is clean, which supports the ‘smart solutions’ positioning, but the lack of linked digital footprints for named executives creates a minor authority gap.

The disconnect is minimal due to the frequency of measurable outcomes. The claim of being a ‘trusted energy partner’ is supported by the figure of serving over 2 million customers and the publication of the ‘Q1 2026 Interim Report.’ Marketing-heavy headings like ‘Unlocking the full potential’ are immediately followed by discussions on competitive power pricing and electricity price hedging. Unlike typical greenwashing sites, Fortum provides the ‘99% CO2-free’ metric as a verifiable performance baseline.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
