Sustainability Agenda 2025–2030
Sustainability Agenda crystallizes our sustainability themes and targets for the period 2025–2030. The agenda focuses on four themes, People and safety, Sustainable nonwovens, Low impact manufacturing and Corporate citizenship. We monitor the progress in different areas regularly.
People and safety
Occupational safety and overall well-being of employees is a priority for us. We invest in increasing employee engagement, continue to build a high-performance culture and strengthen our safety culture.
Low impact manufacturing
For Suominen, environmental responsibility means efficient utilization of resources with the smallest possible impact on the environment. We continuously strive to reduce the main negative environmental impacts caused by our operations identified through our Double Materiality Assessment.
Sustainable nonwovens
The nonwovens market has rapidly changed towards sustainable alternatives. Main drivers being consumers’ growing awareness of environmental issues and legislation. EU’s Single-Use Plastics Directive drives global emphasis on plastic free products. We at Suominen are well positioned to respond to this change. We launched our first plastic-free product already over 15 years ago.
Corporate citizenship
Suominen applies the same principles of ethical business conduct in every country where we operate. We focus on three areas: business ethics, respecting human rights in our own operations and throughout our supply chain, and contributing to the societies where we operate.
