Metsä Fibre receives EcoVadis’s highest level of recognition for the 6th time

Metsä Group’s pulp and sawmill business has once again achieved EcoVadis’s highest level of recognition, the Platinum rating, for its sustainability efforts. Since 2019, Metsä Fibre has consistently been among the top one percent of pulp, paper, and cardboard manufacturers evaluated by EcoVadis. The company received particularly high marks (90 out of 100 points) for its responsible sourcing practices.

“Responsibility and sustainability are integral to our strategy and daily operations. We highly value the Platinum recognition from EcoVadis, which we have now received for the sixth time. We use the feedback from the assessment as a tool for continuous improvement,” says Ismo Nousiainen, CEO of Metsä Fibre.

“Metsä Group’s strategic sustainability goals for 2030 pave the way toward a carbon-neutral society. Our objectives include fossil-free factories, 100 percent utilization of production side streams, and completely fossil-free raw materials by 2030,” adds Nousiainen.

EcoVadis, an organization that evaluates corporate responsibility, provides a platform for companies to assess their suppliers’ performance in global environmental and social responsibility. The assessment covers four areas: environment, human rights and labor practices, business ethics, and sustainable procurement.
