UPM listed in Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index for the fifth time in a row

‘We believe that customers, investors and other stakeholders value our responsible operations that keep risks under control and create business opportunities,’ said Pirkko Harrela, executive vice president of stakeholder relations at UPM. ‘Innovations such as lighter publication paper grades, renewable diesel or biochemicals e.g. for medical end-uses create benefits to our stakeholders and the society, and thereby increase the company value. Being listed as the top company in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index in Europe shows that we have been succeeding in our actions and engagement and that the results are also noted outside.’

UPM is the parent of PS labelstock supplier UPM Raflatac.
