Metsä Board Earns 'A' Score from CDP for Supplier Engagement
Metsä Board has received an 'A' score in CDP's Supplier Engagement Assessment for its climate initiatives. This recognition complements its earlier 'Triple A' rating.
Global recognition for climate action: Metsä Board, a producer of folding boxboards, foodservice boards, and white kraftliners, has been awarded an 'A' score by CDP for its efforts in engaging suppliers on climate change. This achievement highlights the company's commitment to sustainability throughout its value chain.
The Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) by CDP evaluates companies on governance, targets, Scope 3 emissions, and value chain engagement within the CDP climate change questionnaire. Metsä Board's success in this assessment underscores its proactive approach to managing environmental impacts beyond its direct operations.
This 'A' score builds upon Metsä Board's earlier 'Triple A' rating, where it achieved top marks across climate change, forests, and water security. The simultaneous recognition signifies a comprehensive commitment to environmental transparency and performance across multiple critical areas.
Metsä Board aims to phase out fossil energy in its production by 2030 and utilizes fresh, traceable wood fibers from Northern European forests. The company is part of Metsä Group, owned by Finnish forest owners, and plays a significant role in the sustainable packaging industry.
