Share and Care

Charitable donations, support to local initiatives, and employee volunteering are important means for us to contribute positively to the long-term well-being of communities in the countries where we operate. We co-ordinate our contributions under the umbrella of our Share and Care program, which takes a holistic view of the different needs of communities and provides aid to humanitarian organizations in various crisis situations. Our support can be a monetary contribution, products, materials, or employee volunteering work in commonly agreed projects.

The Share and Care program also encompasses local initiatives, such as the UPM Foundation in Uruguay, founded already 15 years ago to support the local communities around our operations. Alongside the growth of UPM's operations, the Foundation has expanded and is building a long-term vision to further develop the collaboration with local communities.  

Our support focuses on youth, education, and enhancing science-based actions to promote biodiversity and mitigate climate change. These areas are aligned with our brand promise – We renew the everyday. In addition, we are committed to providing support to humanitarian organizations in various crisis situations, focusing on children and families who are often the most vulnerable.

• Youth: We focus on initiatives and projects that enhance the wellbeing of the next generation and provide them with opportunities.
• Education: We support initiatives that enhance reading and learning and improve access to education
• Climate and biodiversity: We contribute to various projects and activities that enhance biodiversity in forests, water, and the surrounding areas of our operations. We also support initiatives and research focusing on mitigating climate change.
