Metsä Group updated its sustainability targets

Metsä Group has updated its 2030 sustainability targets. The update includes both changes to existing targets and new targets focusing on logistics emissions, personnel diversity and occupational safety, for example. Sustainability targets are part of Metsä Group’s strategy work.

“We are updating our ambitious targets and reinforcing our commitment to fossil-free operations, the improvement of the state of forest nature, an inclusive and ethical corporate culture and occupational safety,” says Anni Kovanen, Metsä Group’s Director, Sustainability Management.

The targets were last updated two years ago, when measures improving forests’ biodiversity and health as well as measures promoting fossil-free production were added to them.

Systematic nature conservation resulting in increased forest growth

Over the past 20 years, Södra has taken a systematic approach to its nature conservation work. These efforts have resulted in voluntarily protected areas with high conservation values and a production forest with growing conservation values. At the same time, we are seeing increased growth in forests, with a larger wood volume - in other words, forests where production and conservation values go hand in hand. As a result of the company's long-term nature conservation work, the areas with the highest conservation values are now protected. Our members have chosen to certify forest holdings covering 23,000 forest estates. They have also agreed to obtain a Green Forest Management Plan, which requires forest owners to set aside at least 5 percent of their forest area for nature conservation. A total of 8 percent of the forest area (140,000 hectares) has now been set aside for nature conservation purposes, equivalent to more than 200,000 football fields.
