The global environmental non-profit CDP has published its annual A Lists, recognising companies for leadership in environmental transparency and performance. Out of nearly 20,000 companies scored globally, only 23 achieved the highest rating – the Triple A. Metsä Board was one of these companies and the only Nordic company on the Triple A list.
CDP scores companies on Climate Change, Forests, and Water Security, with an ‘A’ marking the highest level of achievement. Securing a Triple A rating places Metsä Board among global leaders demonstrating comprehensive disclosure, mature environmental governance, and meaningful progress toward environmental resilience.
“Many of our customers have ambitious sustainability targets and they also participate in CDP disclosure. By doing our part, we strengthen value chain cooperation, and are proud to support them in reaching their goals. Our systematic work toward fossil-free production helps lower our customers’ Scope 3 emissions. Our water-use reduction target and operations in low water-risk areas in Finland and Sweden support water security. In addition, we promote the growth, biodiversity and resilience of Finnish forests through regenerative forestry practices,” says Esa Kaikkonen, CEO of Metsä Board.
