In addition to climate action, Ahlstrom has received ratings for its Water security and Forests disclosures, achieving a score B for both themes.
CDP’s evaluation is based on comprehensive disclosures covering strategy, targets, governance, risks, and opportunities, and concrete actions taken over the previous year on the three environmental issue areas.
The climate change score highlights Ahlstrom’s strategic and systematic efforts to reduce climate impact across the value chain while reinforcing our dedication to transparency and action in tackling climate change. The score reflects the meaningful progress Ahlstrom has made in cutting emissions and motivates the company to accelerate its efforts even further. The Water security and Forests scores reflect the progress and impact Ahlstrom already has. Ahlstrom recognizes the importance of these areas, and insights from CDP scores help identify key focus areas for further development.
