Responsibility

People are one of the key factors behind UPM's success

For UPM, people development, means promoting employee motivation and continuous growth in line with our business targets. Therefore we encourage and support personal and professional development by providing all employees with development opportunities such as training, learning from others and learning on-the-job.

By focusing our competence development efforts on strategically important areas and on new businesses, we also ensure we are building competences that are useful for the employees in the future. We use our performance management process to set strategy-related targets and development plans for our employees globally. Clear target setting for employees is one of our highest priorities.

UPM aims to establish a culture that supports the Biofore vision and which strives for achievements, fast learning and renewal.
