The sustainability targets are categorized according to the ESG perspectives. Natural biodiversity is safeguarded in wood sourcing through measures that increase the di- versity of tree species and the amount of decaying wood, and by preserving valuable habitats. The 2030 targets are monitored with a comprehensive, more than doubled set of indicators. Also, climate-positive actions in forests have been increased. Metsä Board’s target regarding climate change is un- changed. To mitigate climate change, Metsä Board is aim- ing for 100 percent fossil-free production and products by the end of the year 2030. This target includes both emissions from the compa- ny’s own energy production as well as purchased energy. Currently, 87 percent of the energy used at Metsä Board mills is fossil-free. For water use, Metsä Board has set an even stricter target of 35 percent reduction in process water use per product ton and continues to aim at a minimum of a 10 percent energy efficiency improvement by the end of the year 2030 compared to the 2018 level. The sustainability target updates are based on materi- ality analysis based on discussions with various stakehold- er groups. The analysis was carried out in the autumn of 2022. Metsä Board is a leading European producer of premi- um fresh fibre paperboards. It is focused on lightweight and high-quality folding boxboards, food service boards and white kraftliners. The company aims to have com- pletely fossil free mills and raw materials by the end of 2030. For more information, visit metsagroup.com .
