The UN recognises UPM as the only forest industry representative and the only Finnish company in the Global Compact LEAD network
“LEAD companies represent the highest level of engagement with the UN Global Compact. More than ever before, the world needs businesses of all sizes - like the ones announced as LEAD today - that continuously work to improve their sustainability performance and take action to build a better world,” says Sanda Ojiambo , CEO and Executive Director of the UN Global Compact.
“Responsibility is integrated into our Biofore strategy. Our clear purpose - We create a future beyond fossils - is guiding our daily operations,” says Sami Lundgren , VP, UPM Responsibility. “UPM has made two significant global climate commitments, UN Business Ambition for 1.5°C and The Climate Pledge by Amazon and The Global Optimism, both initiatives showing the way towards net-zero emissions,” Sami Lundgren continues. UPM's goal is to mitigate climate change and drive value creation through innovating novel products, committing to a 65% CO emission reduction and by practicing climate-positive forestry.
