PLANET
Sustainability is at the core of Valmet’s business strategy and operations. Valmet’s mission is to convert renewable resources into sustainable results. This means that our technology and services make it possible for our customers to manufacture sustainable products from renewable resources. We believe that technology plays a key role in mitigating climate change and global warming in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy. This is why we have created an ambitious climate program − Forward to a carbon-neutral future − which continues our comprehensive sustainability work.
Our climate program includes ambitious CO2 emission reduction targets and concrete actions for the whole value chain, including the supply chain, our own operations, and customers’ use of our technologies. These targets will be achieved without emission compensation. The program is aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement´s 1.5-degree pathway and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The climate program’s targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative.
