Heinzel Group is a member of the “4evergreen” alliance, which strives to increase the share of fiber-based packaging in order to sustainably reduce the impact on climate and the environment. In addition, the alliance aims to increase knowledge and raise awareness of the advantages of fiber-based materials in society. Among other things, the initiative advocates the development of optimized collection systems and appropriate recycling infrastructures. Members of the “4evergeen” alliance are represented throughout the entire fiber-based packaging value chain: paper, board and packaging producers, technology and material suppliers, waste sorting and collection companies, and retailers.

Greenpeace International has informed the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) that it will discontinue its international membership with FSC for the year 2018. In line with its overall decentralization approach, Greenpeace will allow national offices to determine if and how to best engage with FSC and forest management more broadly. In some countries – Canada, the United States and New Zealand for example – Greenpeace will remain members of FSC International.

Metsä Group has updated its 2030 sustainability targets. The update includes both changes to existing targets and new targets focusing on logistics emissions, personnel diversity and occupational safety, for example. Sustainability targets are part of Metsä Group’s strategy work. “We are updating our ambitious targets and reinforcing our commitment to fossil-free operations, the improvement of the state of forest nature, an inclusive and ethical corporate culture and occupational safety,” says Anni Kovanen, Metsä Group’s Director, Sustainability Management. The targets were last updated two years ago, when measures improving forests’ biodiversity and health as well as measures promoting fossil-free production were added to them.
