Metsä Board has been awarded a position on the Climate A List by CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) for its actions in response to climate change. Only 9% of corporations participating in CDP’s climate change programme have been awarded a position on the A list.
“A position on CDP’s Climate A List is welcome recognition to our work. By investing in bioenergy, as well as energy and material efficiency, our fossil CO2 emissions have decreased by 42% since 2009. In 2015 more than 80% of the fuels we used were bio-based. We are continuously looking for new areas of improving energy efficiency at our production units,” explains Mika Joukio, CEO of the boxboard manufacturer. “In addition, our fresh fibre paperboards are lightweight, safe and recyclable, and therefore benefit the whole packaging value chain.”
More than a thousand of companies submit annual climate disclosures to CDP for independent assessment against its scoring methodology. 193 ‘A Listers’ appear on the list, which has been produced at the request of 827 investors with assets of US$100 trillion.
The Climate A List, along with the climate scores of all companies publicly taking part in CDP’s climate change programme this year, is available on CDP’s website.
