UPM receives triple sustainability certification for the Leuna biorefinery
UPM Biochemicalsis proud to announce that its new biorefinery in Leuna, Germany, has achieved ISCC PLUS, PEFC[1], and FSC™[2] chain-of-custody certifications – highlighting UPM’s commitment to sustainable sourcing, full traceability, and transparent operations.
The certifications confirm that all wood-based feedstocks used in the biorefinery are sourced from sustainably managed forests and are fully traceable through credible third-party auditing schemes. This independently verified sustainability is a core commercial value of UPM’s biochemicals, supporting customers who prioritize responsible sourcing in their value chains.
“Our products are built on sustainability, and now that commitment is verified by globally recognized standards,” said Martin Ledwon, Vice President, Marketing, Sustainability and Communications, UPM Biorefining & Technology. “These certifications provide assurance that we meet the highest environmental and social standards throughout the supply chain – crucial not only for forest biodiversity and community responsibility, but also for brand trust and consumer confidence.”
