Code of Conduct guides our work

Our work and decision-making are guided by Metsä Group's Code of Conduct and other group-wide policies. The Code of Conduct summarises our commitment to respect for human rights and responsible business.

We also expect all our suppliers to commit to the Metsä Group Supplier Code of Conduct. This includes our minimum requirements for respecting the environment, human rights and responsible business practices. In 2023, 98.7% of Metsä Group’s procurement will come from suppliers committed to these principles.
