We communicate our environmental performance and impacts openly through third-party verified site-specific reports on environmental and societal responsibility in accordance with the EU Eco Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS).
EMAS is a voluntary environmental management system established in 1995. It enables companies and organizations to evaluate, improve, and report on their environmental performance and impacts annually. UPM’s global EMAS Statement consists of a corporate part and site-specific reports and it is updated annually.
All our pulp and paper mills in the EU, as well as the UPM Fray Bentos pulp mill and the Paso de los Toros pulp mill in Uruguay and the UPM Changshu paper mill in China, adhere to the EU’s Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). Since 2018 we have also been reporting our societal impacts in the EMAS reports, including information on health and safety, taxes paid, collaboration with local stakeholders, for example.
