Metsä Board, part of Metsä Group, has been recognised for leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change and water security by global environmental non-profit CDP, securing a place on its annual ‘A List’.

“We have ambitious sustainability targets including 100% fossil free production and raw materials, and reduced process water use by the end of 2030. In our wood supply, we promote regenerative forestry practices. The high score in CDP assessments year after year is great recognition of our systematic work," says Mika Joukio, CEO of Metsä Board.
This is the eighth year that Metsä Board achieved the position on the CDP Climate A list and the CDP Water A list. The measures the company is taking towards its 2030 targets on climate change and water use are publicly available in a detailed and interactive roadmap on the company’s website.
