Valmet has been recognized for its climate work by receiving the best A rating in CDP's climate listing. 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. ”Being aknowledged among the leaders in sustainability with the CDP’s A rating, is a positive proof of our climate work and ambitious targets. We have consistently moved forward with our Climate Program that covers the entire value chain, and to enable carbon neutral production to our customers around the world. We are pleased with the results so far, while recognizing the importance for continued efforts,” says Anu Salonsaari-Posti, SVP, Marketing, Communications, Sustainability and Corporate Relations. The implementation of its Climate Program is a high priority for Valmet.
