ESPOO, Finland, Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Valmet has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the tenth consecutive year. The company was listed both in the Dow Jones Sustainability World and Europe indices.

The Dow Jones Sustainability Index evaluates companies' ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) performance and the capability to continuously improve. Valmet scored high especially in innovation management as well as resource efficiency, circularity, emissions and water reporting.

"We have consistently worked on all fronts of our Sustainability360º Agenda, which has been the backbone for the company's sustainability work for the past decade. Since 2021, we have put even more emphasis on climate actions as we launched our climate program - Forward to a carbon neutral future - with ambitious emission reduction targets across our entire value chain by 2030. Already today, we have achieved one of the program's targets meaning that we can enable fully carbon neutral production for all our pulp and paper industry customers.
