Valmet has been recognized for its climate work by receiving A- rating and reaching a leadership level in CDP's Climate ranking.

CDP's evaluation is based on the company's disclosure about its strategy, targets, governance, risks and opportunities, risk management and actions in the last reporting year related to climate change mitigation and development of low-carbon technology and solutions. CDP is a global non-profit environmental disclosure platform that drives companies and governments to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, safeguard water resources and protect forests.

“We are pleased to be recognized for our efforts to mitigate climate change. We have been developing our processes and solutions on a continuous basis and in 2021 we initiated a specific Climate Program – Forward to a carbon neutral future. The program includes ambitious targets and concrete actions for the whole value chain, including Valmet’s supply chain, own operations and the use of Valmet’s technologies by its customers. Since most of Valmet’s value chain’s carbon footprint originates from the use phase of its technologies, the program emphasizes Valmet’s ability to create technologies that will enable 100 percent carbon neutral production for its customers”, says Anu Salonsaari-Posti, SVP, Marketing, Communications, Sustainability and Corporate Relations.

Already today, Valmet’s current bioenergy boiler offering enables 100 percent fossil free heat and power production for its customers, and the customers’ chemical pulp mills utilizing Valmet’s technologies are often over 100 percent bioenergy self-sufficient.

According to its Climate Program, Valmet targets to enable 100 percent carbon neutral production for all its pulp and paper customers by developing new process technologies and by improving the energy efficiency of its current offering by 20 percent by 2030. Respectively, Valmet targets to reduce 80 percent of CO₂ emissions in its own operations and 20 percent in its supply chain by 2030.

In 2022, Valmet has been recognized for its sustainability work also in other leading rankings. The company has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index as one of the world’s sustainability leaders, Global Sustainability Yearbook 2022 by S&P Global (Bronze Class), EcoVadis sustainability assessment (Gold medal) and MSCI ESG Ratings (AAA).

Valmet and Metsä Group's innovation company Metsä Spring have received national Quality Innovation Award 2022 in Finland with their demo plant that manufactures new kind of fiber products called Muoto®. The joint development project won the category of potential innovations. The criteria of the competition were novelty value, usability, learning, customer orientation and profitability. Excellence Finland announced the winners in Helsinki, Finland on November 10^th, 2022.

The demo plant was inaugurated in August 2022. The goal of the plant is to develop a competitive and recyclable fiber-based package to replace plastics. The products are manufactured ready-to-use for different end uses. Thanks to the multi-layer structure, the product's properties, such as strength and surface smoothness, stand out from products made with other, competing methods.

The 3D technology combines the production process of both the packaging material and the packaging into the same production line and guarantees a resource-efficient production process for example in terms of water use. The production line has a high degree of automation and a large production capacity. No waste is generated in the production process since the side streams can be reused in the process. After the currently ongoing demo phase is completed, market testing of the products with pilot customers will follow.

“3D fiber product technology is a very interesting future area for Valmet – molded fiber packaging is predicted to be the fastest growing segment in the packaging industry in terms of volume. Its growth is supported by restrictions on the use of plastic, the decreasing average size of a package and the growth in the takeaway food market. The 3D fiber product technology is completely new to Valmet, but we have been able to utilize our long experience and know-how in board machine technology and processes. The goal is to bring to the market a technology that is competitive not only in terms of production capacity, but also in terms of production costs and the quality of the final product,” says Petri Rasinmäki, Vice President, Board and Paper Mills Business Unit, Paper business line, Valmet.

“The growing packaging industry requires a variety of new sustainable alternatives; Muoto is our answer to these needs. We’ve moved quickly from an idea that emerged in our internal training programme to a demo plant thanks to our competence and – of course – our excellent partner network. There is every reason to be proud of the Finnish forest industry’s capacity for renewal,” says Jarkko Tuominen, Metsä Group’s Project Director.
