FBA To Begin Accepting Safety Awards Submissions In January The Fibre Box Association (FBA) has announced that it will begin accepting submissions in for the Corrugated Con- tainer Industry Annual Report of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses beginning January 5, 2026. FBA encourages all member plants to submit their year-end safety data from 2025 to participate in this year’s report and Safety Awards Program. Submissions are based on the 2025 300A Form data submitted annually to the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). The report provides valuable benchmarking data and trend analysis for the corrugated industry. Participa- tion is voluntary and open to all corrugator or sheet plant facilities manufacturing corrugated products. To participate, submit your OSHA Form 300A to Ste- fanie Dozois at sdozois@fibrebox.org by mid-February. Metsä Board Recognized Leader In Climate, Water And Forest Security Norwalk, Connecticut based Metsä Board, has been rec- ognized for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change, forests, and water securi- ty by the global environmental non-profit CDP. Based on data reported through CDP’s 2025 Climate Change, Forests, and Water Security questionnaires, Metsä Board is among an exceptionally select group of companies worldwide to achieve a Triple A rating – out of nearly 20,000 companies scored. In 2024, Metsä Board was one of only eight companies globally to receive this distinction. “With a 56 percent reduction in fossil-based Scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions from 2018 to 2024, we are already below the 1.5°C Paris-aligned 2030 emissions level. We are on track to achieve further emissions reductions this year. The high score in CDP assessments year after year confirms our systematic work across all three areas: cli- mate, forests, and water,” says Esa Kaikkonen, CEO of Metsä Board. 2025 marks the fourth time Metsä Board has earned CDP’s prestigious Triple A rating. Over the years, the com- pany has consistently demonstrated leadership in environ- mental transparency—appearing on CDP’s Climate A List and Water A List for the tenth time, and on the Forest A List for the fourth time. Metsä Board’s progress toward its 2030 climate and water targets is outlined in a detailed, interactive roadmap available on its website. CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized as the leading standard for corporate environmental transparency. The full list of companies on this year’s A List will be published on CDP’s website in early 2026, along with other publicly available company scores.
