Metsä Fibre, part of Metsä Group, has once again been awarded the highest Platinum rating by EcoVadis. The company ranks among the top one percent of companies assessed globally in the pulp, paper and board industry - a position it has held since 2019.

The recognition reflects Metsä Fibre's long-term commitment and continuous improvement across all areas of sustainability. In the latest assessment, the company achieved excellent scores in environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.

"At Metsä Fibre, sustainability is visible in our daily work across the entire value chain - in safety, efficient use of energy and raw materials, responsible sourcing practices, and transparent and ethical ways of working. Receiving EcoVadis' highest recognition for the eighth consecutive year demonstrates our long-term commitment and our continuous drive to improve our operations. The assessment also provides valuable feedback that helps us further strengthen our sustainability together with our personnel, customers, suppliers, and other partners," says Ismo Nousiainen, CEO of Metsä Fibre.

EcoVadis assesses companies' sustainability performance globally and provides a platform for evaluating suppliers' environmental and social responsibility. The assessment covers four key areas: environmental responsibility, labor and human rights, business ethics, and sustainable procurement.
