UPM Supplier and Third-Party Code

Dear Partner,

At UPM, everything we do is rooted in integrity. It lays the foundation for our success and growth. Our promise to renew the everyday requires responsible choices and trusted partnerships. We never compromise on our standards of integrity, and we expect the same from our suppliers and third-party intermediaries.

As our partner, you play a vital part in our value chain. We are committed to continuous dialogue and collaboration with you to ensure that our entire supply chain remains efficient, transparent and responsible.  

As partners, it is our shared responsibility to uphold integrity in every decision and action. Thus, I trust that you and your company will fully comply with the UPM Supplier and Third-Party Code and make the right choices, every day.


Massimo Reynaudo
President and CEO, UPM

 

Introduction

UPM strives to be a trustworthy business partner. We believe that responsible and ethical practices create long-term value for UPM, our business partners and other stakeholders. Our commitment to integrity is defined in the UPM Code of Conduct. Our principle is clear: we do not compromise our standards of integrity under any circumstances, and we expect the same from our suppliers and third-party intermediaries.

All UPM suppliers and third-party intermediaries (e.g. agents, advisers, representatives, joint ventures, joint venture partners, local partners, and distributors) need to comply with the standards set in the UPM Supplier and Third-Party Code, or demonstrate their compliance with similar standards defined in their own code of conduct or company policies.

UPM Supplier and Third-Party Code defines the minimum level of performance that UPM requires from its suppliers and third-party intermediaries. Certain materials and services may be subject to additional requirements.

UPM Supplier and Third-Party Code is aligned with international standards such as the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact initiative, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the International Labour Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

The latest version of the Supplier and Third-Party Code is available on the UPM website.
