Example 3:
Sustainable Forest Biomass
Key Area: BIODIVERSITY
Topic
• Ensuring availability of biomass raw material to operate the
UPM Caledonian paper mill biomass energy plant built
in Scotland in 2009
Action
• Promote stump biomass harvesting and increase know-how among
staff and stakeholders
• Created operating instructions, guidelines and harvesting protocol
• Address concerns: soil, water, biodiversity, carbon
• Influenced how biomass harvesting is considered as part of forest
certification
Opportunity
• Secure approval of authorities
• Secure raw material for carbon-neutral energy production

Example 4:
Energy Efficiency
Key Area: CLIMATE
Topic
• Cost of fossil fuels, electricity, EU Emissions Trading Scheme
Action
• More energy self-sufficient , 40% higher production capacity
since 1997
• Renewable energy and best-available-technology investments
(over €1 billion in 10 yrs)
• 12 modern biomass energy plants built since 1990
• 3 pulp mill recovery boilers modernised
• Internal energy audit program
Opportunity
• Lower energy costs, opportunities to sell power & steam
• Sell carbon allowances on EU ETS
• Lower carbon footprint (more attractive products)

Carbon Footprint Reduction
Key Area: CLIMATE
Since 1990, fossil CO2 emissions per tonne of paper have decreased by:
→ 40 % in UPM Globally → 64 % in UPM Finland
* UPM acquired
- Changshu and Miramichi paper mills in 2000
- Haindl paper mills in 2001

Enhanced Revenue Generation
Example for Printing Papers
• A growing % of global customers are
integrating sustainability into purchasing
decisions
• Increased price can be obtained by up to
6% of customers and up to 6% by volume
• In some cases, it can generate the whole
order
Environmental performance, services and
effective marketing are essential

Advantage of Sustainable Paper
Key Area: SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS
Topic
• Key customers are using product scorecards
- Paper Profile
- Environmental Paper Assessment Tool
• They cover the life-cycle of papermaking:
- Forest management, mill operations
- Purchased power, certifications
- Paper composition, …and more
Action
• Making scorecards and information available to customers
Opportunity
• Customers are including UPM's sustainability score as part
of their overall paper purchasing scorecard or decision
• Top score means more business for UPM

Environmental Life Cycle of Paper
• UPM's target is to minimise the environmental impact of a paper
throughout its entire life cycle
- 21. 21 | © UPM
Why the EU Eco-label? (EU Flower)
• Covers key elements of the life-cycle, not only fibre
• Water and energy use
• Air and wastewater emissions
• Fossil fuel use
• Solid waste management
• Chemical use
• Requires good overall environmental performance
• An official label (EU Commission), third party
certified
• 100 UPM products are labeled
- 22. 22 | © UPM
Summary
• YES - Environmental sustainability can give a
competitive edge
• Sustainable products over the life-cycle is KEY
Renewable, Recyclable, Biodegradable
Climate (low carbon)
Water (sustainable use)
Forest (certified, maintain and increase biodiversity)
Waste (minimize and re-use)
• Marketing and communications (a must!)
Eco-labels
Sending a simple and effective message
