Give long-term climate efforts an extra push

At UPM, we have committed to reduce our CO2 emissions by 65% by year 2030. To make this a reality, we work on two time horizons to combat climate change. Through long-term efforts such as climate-positive forestry, novel products, and science-based reduction targets, we reduce emissions throughout our entire production chain. Short-term initiatives, like carbon offsetting, offer additional possibilities to make an environmental impact.

 
 
 
 

Offset paper's carbon emissions

Carbon offsetting is a short-term action that compensates for CO2 emissions. At UPM Communication Papers, we support our customers in offsetting carbon emissions of paper or the paper end-product.

CO2 offsetting is not enough to stop or reverse climate change, but together with long-term efforts, it's a valid step to reduce greenhouse emissions and support low-carbon development in local communities.

 

Find the right compensation approach for you

We offer carbon offsetting on two different levels. Both approaches can be applied to any paper in our range.

Support local climate projects

To offset CO2 , we help our customers select projects and initiatives verified through the Gold Standard Foundation.

We focus on projects with high added value for local communities at the household level such as biogas, cook-stoves and clean water filters. We ensure that our customers' carbon offsetting efforts truly make a difference to people and the climate, without a hassle.
