“Our co-operation with Metsä Group in developing a sustainability model for investments contributes to both companies’ strong sustainability work and establishes tangible indicators for sustainability at different stages of investment.” “As part of its strategic 2030 sustainability targets, Metsä Group is committed to ensuring that its supply network operates sustainably,” said Jari Voutilainen, Metsä Group’s senior vice-president, sourcing and logistics. “Valmet is a large technology and service provider in the forest industry’s value chain, and its operations and procurement cover an extensive geographical area. By jointly scrutinising the chain’s sustainability in ever greater detail, we ensure that the forest industry’s positive impacts spread beyond the wood- processing value chain.”
