UPM has been recognised with an A score for its leadership in corporate transparency and action on climate change mitigation by CDP, the global environmental non-profit organisation. UPM also received an A- for forest and water stewardship.
“In our strategy, forests, wood-based products, low-carbon energy and the reduction of fossil CO2 emissions play a key role in mitigating climate change," explains Sami Lundgren, Vice President, Responsibility at UPM. "Water plays a critical role in our business, from sustainable forestry to production and energy generation. We have set ambitious targets for all these areas as part of our Group-level sustainability targets for 2030.”
UPM was also recognised recently in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook as one of the top 10% performers in its industry.
“We see sustainability as one of the most important drivers of growth and competitiveness, and we are seizing the opportunities presented by sustainable consumer choices and stricter regulations,” Sami continues.
In January 2025, UPM announced its inclusion in the Dow Jones World and European Sustainability Indices as the only forest and paper industry company for the years 2024-2025. The S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook lists companies that are among the best in their respective industries.
