Metsä Board publishes roadmaps on climate change and water use targets

NEW detailed roadmaps have been published by Metsä Board to help visualise the measures it will take to achieve 2030 targets regarding climate change and water use.

The firm revealed the roadmaps will be updated at least once a year, in terms of actual performance and future investments. Future investments, which are at the planning stage, are also included in the roadmaps.

Metsä explained that the interactive roadmaps give the possibility to explore historical and projected measures ‘mill-by-mill’ and their impact on achieving the targets.

In the climate roadmap there are two sections – the journey towards 100% fossil free energy and working towards zero CO2 emissions. The water roadmap describes how the reduction of process water use per product tonne is expected to proceed.

Metsä Board’s targets include that, by the end of 2030, its mills will phase out the use of any fossil fuels and any fossil-based purchased energy.

The climate and water roadmaps were developed with AskKauko, a software company specialising in the collection and visualisation of sustainability data.
