Responsibility

Water is one of our planet's key natural resources and it's essential to sustain life on Earth. It is also one of the key resources for UPM's operations. Without water we cannot make any of our products. We interact with water resources and water cycles in our forests, plantations and energy operations.

Efficient use of water resources is the central point of our everyday actions. All effluents are cleaned to the highest standard before being released into watercourses.

Effluent quality is regularly monitored and reviewed. In the papermaking process, water consumption has already been significantly reduced, and today it is nearly half of what it was 15 years ago.
