Disclosure principles
Disclosure Committee
To ensure the fulfilment of the company’s disclosure obligations, UPM has established a Disclosure Committee to monitor and set guidelines for external disclosure. The committee addresses the general content of external disclosure, including periodic and ongoing releases of financial and other information, their timely disclosure and their compliance with regulatory requirements. The Disclosure Committee is headed by the Chief Financial Officer. Other members of the committee are the EVP of Stakeholder Relations, VP of Investor Relations, and the General Counsel. The Disclosure Committee meets on a quarterly basis and otherwise when needed.
Silent period
UPM observes a silent period prior to publication of its financial results. UPM's silent period begins at the end of each reporting period and ends at the publication of the quarterly report or financial statements release. During the silent period, UPM spokespersons will neither discuss nor comment on the Group’s financial performance with capital market representatives or the media.
