EcoVadis has recognised UPM with a platinum score based on the company’s sustainability performance in four categories – environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
Only one per cent of the 100,000 global companies assessed received platinum. UPM’s score 87/100 was one of the highest in the manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard.
“Compared to last year, our carbon score improved most,” said Sami Lundgren, vice president, responsibility, UPM. “We are extremely proud that our climate change related management and strong decarbonisation ambition with approved science based targets were recognised with the highest possible ‘leader’ status.”
