Valmet Secures the Best A List Position in the CDP Climate Disclosure for Second Consecutive Year
Valmet has been recognised for its actions and strategy to mitigate climate change by receiving the best A score and maintaining its leadership position in the CDP Climate disclosure. CDP’s evaluation is based on the company’s disclosure about its climate-related strategy, targets, governance, risks and opportunities, risk management and actions in the last reporting year.
Inclusion in the CDP Climate A List for the second year in a row is a recognition of Valmet’s systematic efforts to reduce its climate impacts across the value chain.
We believe that technology and collaboration across the value chain play a key role in mitigating climate change. Together with our suppliers and customers, we will continue to drive the transition of our customers’ industries toward a low-carbon, circular future.
Reetta Loponen, VP, Sustainability, Valmet
In its own operations, Valmet has made significant energy efficiency investments to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in its locations and, for example, has purchased carbon-free electricity in Finland and Sweden since 2023. In the supply chain, Valmet has succeeded in engaging more than 270 key suppliers with the most CO2-intensive operations in its Climate Programme to reduce their own climate impacts.
The company has also achieved a 10 percent reduction in energy use in pulp, paper, board and tissue technologies since 2019, enabling significant CO2 reductions over the lifetime of these solutions. Valmet’s solutions enable energy- and resource-efficient pulp, paper and energy production with fossil-free energy sources and the use of renewable and recycled raw materials for customers.
In 2024, Valmet’s sustainability work was also recognised with a Gold medal in the EcoVadis sustainability assessment and the Supply Chain ESG Pioneer Award at the European Chamber Sustainable Business Awards in China.
