EFQM awarded Metsä Fibre for the work it has done in promoting and continuously developing sustainability.
Metsä Fibre received special thanks for the ways it takes sustainability into account in its investments and action plans, and for the way sustainability is reflected in the corporate culture at all levels of the organisation.
”We are delighted and proud for this recognition,” Ismo Nousiainen, CEO of Metsä Fibre said. “At Metsä Fibre, our key principle is continuous improvement, and sustainability and responsibility are an integral part of everything we do.
“We use northern wood from sustainably managed forests for the resource-efficient production of our products, and to produce products which can replace fossil-based raw materials.
“We take care of our personnel’s well-being and safety, and continuously develop our mills to make them increasingly efficient in terms of the environment, resources, raw materials and energy. In addition to this, we also strive to use the production side streams as efficiently as possible as renewable energy and other bio products.
”We utilize the EFQM model for the long-term development of Metsä Fibre. In this work, the external feedback is valuable for us.”
The EFQM Excellence Model is used as an evaluation and development tool in tens of thousands of organisations globally, both in the public and private sectors.
The objective of the EFQM Global Excellence Award is to recognise role model organisations worldwide, whether private, public or non-for-profit.
