Responsibility

UPM's operations have an impact on a wide range of stakeholder groups. We aim to be a good neighbour to the surrounding communities.

UPM's own personnel, customers, shareholders, suppliers, local communities, non-governmental organisations and business organisations are among our key stakeholders. We promote mutual understanding through continuous dialogue and co-operation. Whether cooperating with shareholders, employees, customers or business partners, our target is to ensure alignment of the UPM responsibility principles and targets with the expectations of our stakeholders and of society.

We aim to further enhance our local stakeholder initiatives globally.
