Fossil-free production

The 2015 Paris climate agreement was a global wake-up call to stop global warming. Meeting climate targets requires a transition to a fossil-free world, which means that the forest industry also needs to change radically. 
 
We are aiming high and committing to concrete action to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees by 2030. UPM has set an ambitious target to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from its mills in terms of fuels and purchased electricity: the aim is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 65% by 2030 compared to 2015 emissions. 
 
UPM Timber's four sawmills have been completely fossil-free* since 2020 - so we exceeded our emission targets 10 years early! Now every product that leaves our sawmills is produced without fossil energy. Because our sawmill production now runs entirely on 100% renewable energy, our emissions from production are extremely low.
