Metso has set sustainability targets for its own operations for the years
2016-2018
Metso Corporation's press release on August 30, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. EEST
Metso has revised its sustainability strategy and set targets related to its own
approach to sustainability for the years 2016-2018. Our revised sustainability
strategy consists of four focus areas, and all of them have measurable sub-
categories concerning the company's own operations. These focus areas are:
Building customer success - Environmentally efficient and safe products,
solutions and services. We focus on customer value creation through close
partnership and cooperation.
Responsible supply chain - We want to ensure our sustainable business operations
throughout our supply chain by developing our sustainability management
practices at Metso and with our suppliers and by having best practices in place
to closely follow regulations.
Performing together - We provide a healthy and safe working environment in a
culture that supports good performance and competence and follows our ethical
principles. We work together with the local communities to create social value.
Contributing to the environment - We constantly work towards reducing the
environmental load generated in our operations. We reduce water and energy
consumption, emissions and waste in our production.
"Sustainability in general and work safety have already been an integral part of
our management agenda, but now with the updated sustainability strategy and
focus areas we are even more determinedly and ambitiously continuing the good
work already done in this field," states Matti Kähkönen, President and CEO,
Metso Corporation. "To highlight some of our earlier achievements, we were able
to reduce the level of our Lost Time Incident Frequency (LTIF) each year for the
past 5 years," he continues.
"Moreover, Metso has made progress in building a company-wide sustainable supply
chain. As an example, we conduct third-party sustainability audits yearly for
suppliers in potentially higher risk areas identified in our annually conducted
supplier sustainability risk mapping," says Kaisa Jungman, Head of
Sustainability, Metso Corporation.
Metso reports annually according to Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
guidelines. Metso is also included in several third-party sustainability
ratings. Metso continues to be included in the Climate Disclosure Leadership
Index with the highest possible score of 100/100. A high score from the CDP's
Climate Disclosure Leadership Index indicates transparency in disclosing high-
quality carbon emissions and energy data. Metso's sustainable performance is
also included in FST4Good and Ethibel sustainability indices.
