Valmet launches new sustainability action plans for 2016-2018
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Corporation's press release on May 23, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. EET
Valmet has defined new action plans for its sustainability agenda for
2016-2018. The action plans include detailed actions and targets for each
sustainability focus area. The new action plans were defined based on an
extensive agenda review conducted in early 2016.
Valmet defined the sustainability agenda initially in early 2014, and has
systematically worked to implement the actions set for each of its focus areas.
The agenda is called Sustainability360º and it takes a comprehensive approach to
sustainability in our operations. The agenda focuses on five core areas:
sustainable supply chain; health, safety and environment; people and
performance; sustainable solutions, and corporate citizenship.
"Our systematic execution of the previous action plans has led to many concrete
results. We have for instance established Valmet-wide processes for managing the
sustainability of our supply chain, improved occupational safety year by year
and realized a significant increase in employee engagement. On top of this,
Valmet has been recognized as one of the world's sustainability leaders in Dow
Jones Sustainability Index. As we have now reached many of our current targets,
this was a natural phase to review the agenda and define actions for the next
three years," says Anu Salonsaari-Posti, SVP, Marketing, Communications and
Sustainability at Valmet.
In 2016-2018, special focus continues on ensuring a globally sustainable supply
chain and continuous improvement of safety culture. More information on the
agenda and roadmaps is available at www.valmet.com/sustainabilityagenda.
Comprehensive sustainability reporting
Valmet strives to have globally consistent and transparent management and
reporting practices so that all its stakeholders can reliably assess the
company's sustainability performance and development. Valmet reports annually on
its sustainability performance according to the Global Reporting Initiative
(GRI). The company also reports to selected third-party sustainability ratings.
In 2015, Valmet was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for
the second consecutive year. Valmet also reported to CDP's Climate Change
program with a score of 97/100.
