Metsä Board Expands Climate Targets, Receives Industry Recognition

Metsä Board Oyj, a prominent European paperboard producer, has advanced its climate commitments by extending its science-based targets to encompass the end-of-life phase of its products. The company has received validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for these expanded goals, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to reducing its environmental footprint across the value chain.

The company's dedication to sustainability has earned it repeated industry accolades. Metsä Board was again featured on the Financial Times' 'Europe's Climate Leaders' list. Furthermore, it achieved its fourth consecutive 'A' rating from CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) for its supplier engagement on climate, reinforcing its previously attained 'Triple A' status.

In addition to environmental initiatives, Metsä Board is pursuing strategic collaborations to enhance customer value in packaging solutions. A partnership with HEIDELBERG aims to combine material and machinery expertise. The company is also showcasing its Muoto™ moulded fibre solution at the Interpack 2026 trade fair.

Metsä Board continues to focus on product innovation and safety, emphasizing that food-safe paperboard production begins at the mill. Recent developments include lightweight sheet transport packaging that significantly reduces weight. The company's paperboard products, such as Metsä Board Pro WKL, have been recognized for their performance in demanding retail display applications.
