INVESTMENT SUPPORTS
WELFARE
UPM is investing EUR 160million
in the development of the Kymi
pulpmill. The investment will not
only benefit the pulpmill but also
the whole of society.
China is now focusing
on more sustainable
growth rather than just
aiming at big growth
rates. Until now,
the export industry and
large infrastructure
projects have spurred
on the economy. Now
China wants to provide
more services.

UPM Valor is an
environmentally friendly
choice because it reduces
fuel use and helps Finnair
to achieve its own
environmental goals.
