Valmet Oyj's press release on October 30, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. EET
Valmet has been recognized for its actions and strategy to mitigate climate
change by CDP, the international not-for-profit organization that promotes
sustainability. Valmet maintains its leadership position in CDP's climate
program ranking by achieving the second-best A- rating. The CDP's climate change
program results were released on October 24, 2017.
"This year, CDP had set the threshold higher than in the previous years which
makes our achievement even more significant. This is a great acknowledgement of
our contribution to climate change mitigation. We are continuously developing
technologies that enable the use of renewable raw materials and increase raw
material efficiency. We also have a systematic program to reduce CO2 emissions
in our own operations. Recently, we set new targets for this program spanning to
year 2030 to drive continuous improvement in environmental performance in the
long term," says Pasi Laine, President and CEO of Valmet.
Valmet's mission is to convert renewable resources into sustainable results.
Valmet's comprehensive Sustainability360º agenda focuses on five core areas:
sustainable supply chain; health, safety and environment; people and
performance; sustainable solutions, and corporate citizenship.
In September 2017, Valmet was recognized for its consistent progress in
sustainability as it was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World and
Europe indices for the fourth consecutive year. Valmet was also reconfirmed as a
constituent of the Ethibel Sustainability Index Excellence Europe.
