Metso continues to be included in the Climate Disclosure Leadership Index - this

Leadership Index ranks companies listed on the Nordic stock exchanges whose
reporting takes a professional approach to disclosing actions and achievements

management places on maintaining a high level of transparency in its reporting.
Metso's score was the highest among Nordic companies in the Industrials sector.
It was also one of the two highest scores among all Nordic companies ranked in
the Climate Disclosure Leadership Index.
