Press release submitted on behalf of Metsä Board

Metsä Board has again been included in the Financial Times Europe’s Climate Leaders ranking, highlighting European companies that have made the most progress in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity.

The Europe’s Climate Leaders list identifies companies that have achieved reductions in their GHG emissions intensity over a multi‑year period, alongside meeting additional criteria related to transparency and climate commitments.

“Being recognized once again on the Financial Times Climate Leaders list reflects the direction we have taken in setting science‑based targets and focusing on concrete actions to reduce GHG emissions,” says Esa Kaikkonen, CEO of Metsä Board.

Metsä Board recently updated its near‑term emissions reduction targets, which have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The updated targets reinforce the company’s aim to phase out the use of fossil energy in production and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions both from its own operations and across the value chain. The Financial Times Europe’s Climate Leaders ranking is based on publicly available and verified emissions data reported by participating companies.
