Compared to previous years’ assessments, UPM received its all-time high score of 87/100.
Sami Lundgren, VP, Responsibility at UPM said: ‘The main improvement steps were taken in the Labour and human rights category. We have introduced several new social responsibility targets for 2030, focusing strongly on diversity and inclusion and fair rewarding. We have also developed our human rights due diligence processes and reporting. The EcoVadis sustainability rating helps our customers assess the responsibility of their suppliers. UPM’s renewed Platinum rating recognizes the work we have done to promote sustainability in the whole value chain.’
