Metsä Board renews its status on CDP’s Triple A List

Metsä Board, part of Metsä Group, has been recognised for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change, forests, and water security by the global environmental non profit CDP.

Based on data reported through CDP’s 2025 Climate Change, Forests, and Water Security questionnaires, Metsä Board is among a select group of companies worldwide to achieve a Triple A rating – out of nearly 20,000 companies scored. In 2024, the company was one of only eight globally to receive this distinction.

‘With a 56% reduction in fossil-based Scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions from 2018 to 2024, we are already below the 1.5°C Paris aligned 2030 emissions level. We are on track to achieve further emissions reductions this year. The high score in CDP assessments year after year confirms our systematic work across all three areas: climate, forests, and water,’ said CEO Esa Kaikkonen.

This year (2025) marks the fourth time Metsä Board has earned CDP’s prestigious Triple A rating. Over the years, the company has consistently demonstrated leadership in environmental transparency – appearing on CDP’s Climate A List and Water A List for the tenth time, and on the Forest A List for the fourth time.

Metsä Board’s progress toward its 2030 climate and water targets is outlined in a detailed, interactive roadmap available on its website.
