Valmet included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index among the world's sustainability leaders

The inclusion is a one indicator showing that Valmet has progressed well with its Sustainability360o agenda emphasizing continuous improvement of even more sustainable business practices. The role of sustainability work at Valmet is to support growth, reduce risks and enable cost savings.

Dow Jones Sustainability Index evaluates companies’ ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) performance. This year, the ranking focused even more on companies’ climate strategies, and on the assessment and management of the climate-related risks.

“I am very proud of Valmet’s success in receiving recognitions for being one of the most sustainable companies in the world. The consecutive inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index shows our systematic progress in sustainability, as continuous improvement is the key criteria in the ranking. Our consistent work has really paid off, and I have been happy to see our employees’ commitment to integrate sustainability into our business processes. I want to thank all Valmeteers participating in this work around the world,” says Pasi Laine, President and CEO of Valmet.

Valmet’s sustainability agenda focuses on five core areas: sustainable supply chain; health, safety and environment; people and performance; sustainable solutions, and corporate citizenship.

In 2021, Valmet has also received other sustainability acknowledgements, such as S&P Global SAM’s annual Sustainability Yearbook and highest rankings in Ecovadis sustainability assessment and MSCI ESG Ratings.
