UPM has been listed as the only company in the forestry and paper sector in the Dow Jones Global and European Sustainability Indices (DJSI) for 2024-2025. These indices cover environmental, social, and governance aspects of responsibility.
“We are committed to creating value for our customers by using sustainable and renewable resources, reducing our environmental impact, and increasing our positive social impact. Sustainability is a core strategic value for UPM,” says Sami Lundgren, Vice President of Responsibility at UPM.
This commitment is evident in the company’s updated strategy, published last September. UPM’s portfolio is based on sustainable raw materials and fossil-free energy, positioning the company for growth in renewable fibers, advanced materials, and decarbonization solutions, while graphic papers continue to generate strong cash flows.
UPM has also successfully issued a new Green Bond of 600 million euros in 2024 under its Green Finance Framework. With the fourth issuance, UPM has further strengthened its position as one of the largest corporate Green Bond issuers in the Nordic countries, with a total of 2.35 billion euros issued.
“These Green Bonds link our financing to our sustainability goals and support our overall strategy,” Lundgren continues.
