UPM Paper and sustainability
Our approach to sustainability strengthens our commitment to sustainable practices throughout the paper supply chain, from raw material to value creation. When produced sustainably with pulp from sustainably managed forests, having efficient processes in place at our paper mills, reducing waste, water use and emissions, followed up by third party auditors and constantly reporting against ambitious targets – we are truly committed to sustainability. Following these practices, paper is an eco-friendly, renewable material and one of the first products to optimise a circular economy.
