Metsa

Metsä Group, headquartered in Finland and operating within the paper and paper products industry, has detailed climate commitments and emissions data.

For the year 2025, Metsä Group reported total global emissions of approximately 5.61 billion kg CO2e. This total is comprised of Scope 1 emissions amounting to approximately 433.79 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of about 230.58 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were substantial, totalling approximately 4.94 billion kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 1.10 billion kg CO2e) and the processing of sold products (approximately 1.62 billion kg CO2e).

In 2024, total global emissions were approximately 5.62 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were reported at about 547.11 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 328.07 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2024 totalled around 4.75 billion kg CO2e.

Metsä Group has set ambitious targets to address climate change. By 2030, the company aims for fossil-free mills, targeting the elimination of fossil-based Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon dioxide emissions. This target is aligned with the Paris Agreement's objective of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, implying a reduction of approximately 52% in these emissions. Fossil-based carbon dioxide accounts for around 90% of Metsä Group's Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions.

Furthermore, Metsä Tissue and Metsä Forest have established their own emissions reduction targets. Both aim to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by 50% compared to 2022 levels by 2030. Specifically for wood supply in Finland, the goal is to reduce fossil-based carbon dioxide emissions by 30% compared to 2022 levels by 2030. The detailed roadmaps for reducing Scope 3 emissions are under development.
