Metsä Tissue, part of Metsä Group, (including Metsä Greaseproof Papers business) has received the highest Platinum rating in EcoVadis sustainability and social responsibility evaluation. The company is among the top 1% of all the companies rated by EcoVadis. Metsä Tissue once again scored highly in each of the four themes assessed, performing best in the environment section with a score of 90/100.

"We're pleased and proud to have received a Platinum rating again this year," says Esa Kaikkonen, Metsä Tissue's CEO. “Despite many new questions, we managed to exceed the requirements of a Platinum rating and improved our results from last year. We've again demonstrated that we have an advanced sustainability management system that covers all the four themes addressed by EcoVadis and thus provides us an excellent foundation for further development of our sustainability work.

“I wish to express my warmest thanks to our team and all our stakeholders, who have contributed to the achievement of this excellent result.
