Environmental protection and management are an integral part of UPM’s activities. We recognize

the fact that sustainable use of natural resources and environmental care and protection are vital

for sustainable economic growth and overall well-being. UPM takes responsibility for observing

the principles of sustainable development, as well as for continuous improvement of its

environmental performance.

In the choice of raw materials, sources of energy and production processes, as well as in product

development, an important objective is to minimize the impact on nature and the environment.In

developing our products and production methods, UPM pays a special attention to both quality

and cost-efficiency, as well as to the fact that raw material and energy are efficiently consumed

and that the recyclability of the products is as high as possible.

Attention to the environment

The concept of continuous improvement is a key component of the environmental management system. UPM works constantly to further improve its

processes, so that the environment would have to deal with even less impact in the future.
