UPM receives an A score for CDP’s Water and Forests Programs

UPM has been positioned on this year’s A List for water and forests by CDP, the non-profit global environmental disclosure platform. CDP’s A List comprises companies from around the world that have been identified as leading in their efforts and actions to combat environmental risk in the past CDP reporting year. Of the companies that submitted information, UPM is one of the only four companies to score an A on both water and forests.

“UPM is committed to the internationally accepted principles of sustainable forest management and to minimise the negative impacts of its operations on water resources,” says Tuomas Niemi, Manager, UPM Environment and Responsibility.

“We aim to maximise our total contribution to society by creating long-term profitable business with responsible practises embedded into our operations and value-chain”, Niemi continues.

“Congratulations to all the companies that made it onto the A List this year. It’s inspiring to see so many taking bold action to mitigate environmental risks and grasp the opportunities that come with the transition to a sustainable economy. These companies are driving the transition as we approach a tipping point on environmental action”, says Paul Dickinson, Executive Chair, CDP.

CDP publishes A-D scores across climate, water and forests for over 3,000 major corporates, with the leaders celebrated on the A List.
