Valmet Oyj's press release on October 25, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. EET
Valmet has been recognized for its actions and strategy to mitigate climate
change and awarded a position on the 2016 Climate A List by CDP, the
international not-for-profit organization that promotes sustainability.
This year's A list includes the 193 best companies globally that have publicly
reported on their actions on climate change mitigation. Valmet was ranked among
the top 9 % of all the included companies. From the Nordic countries a total of
14 companies were included in the list. The results were published today,
October 25, 2016, in the CDP Global Climate Change Report 2016.
"Valmet has a comprehensive approach to sustainability. We contribute to climate
change mitigation by developing technologies that enable the use of renewable
raw materials and increase raw material efficiency. We also have a systematic
program to reduce CO(2) emissions in our own operations. Valmet's listing in
both 2016 CDP's Climate A List and in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index
indicates that our sustainability work is concentrating on the right issues,"
says Pasi Laine, President and CEO of Valmet.
Valmet's mission is to convert renewable resources into sustainable results.
Valmet's Sustainability360º agenda focuses on five core areas: sustainable
supply chain; health, safety and environment; people and performance;
sustainable solutions, and corporate citizenship. In the action plans for
2016-2018, special focus continues on ensuring a globally sustainable supply
chain and continuous improvement of safety culture.
"CDP congratulates the 193 A List companies that are leading the charge towards
our low carbon future. Companies are key actors in enabling the global economy
to achieve its new climate goals, and the leadership of this group points the
way for others to take bold action and capitalize on the many opportunities that
await," says Paul Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of CDP.
