“We are extremely pleased that our work on corporate responsibility has again been recognised. The foundation for corporate responsibility at UPM is the company’s Biofore strategy. Innovation plays a key role in developing resource-efficient solutions for a more sustainable world. For instance, we are building the world’s first biorefinery to produce second-generation renewable diesel in Finland. We aim to become a major player in Europe in the production of renewable, high quality advanced biofuels”, says Jussi Pesonen, CEO, UPM.
“In the area of social responsibility, we have focused on work safety. Our safety initiative launched at the beginning of 2012 has resulted in exceptional success. UPM’s global Lost Time Accident Frequency (LTAF) has decreased by more than 40 percent in less than two years”, he continues.
