In 2025 Metsä Tissue maintained high scores in all four categories: Environment, Labor & Human rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. The Ethics section, which scored the lowest last year, saw the most improvement this year, highlighting the unwavering importance of continuous development.

A recognition achieved by the top 1% of companies assessed globally is something we are very proud of. Our continued top-tier rating highlights the consistency in our sustainability work, and achieving this result under increasingly demanding criteria reflects our commitment and the daily efforts of our teams and partners. I extend my sincere thanks to our internal and external stakeholders who have contributed to achieving this great result,” says Sari Pajari-Sederholm, CEO of Metsä Tissue.

Metsä Tissue is committed to advancing bioeconomy and circular economy by efficiently processing pulp made of northern wood into high-quality tissue and greaseproof paper products.
