Valmet’s Sustainability360° Agenda takes a comprehensive approach to sustainability across Valmet’s value chain. The agenda covers Valmet’s entire value chain including the supply chain, own operations, and the use phase of Valmet´s technologies at customer sites.

The agenda is based on assessing and evaluating the topics that are most material to the company’s business and stakeholders within Valmet’s value chain. The nine main material topics of the agenda are grouped around three focus areas: Environment, Social, and Governance. Valmet has defined targets, actions, and KPIs for all the material topics, and they are integrated into Valmet´s strategy process and annual planning.
