Metsä Group and Valmet to develop a joint sustainability model for industrial investment projects

Metsä Group and Valmet are jointly developing a comprehensive operating model to ensure sustainability in technology and maintenance investments.

It will be used to verify the sustainability of the process technology projects delivered by Valmet to Metsä Group and the related supply chains.

The goal is to adopt the model by 2027. “As part of its strategic 2030 sustainability targets, Metsä Group is committed to ensuring that its supply network operates sustainably.
