Setting the Standard in Sustainable Timber

At UPM, climate-positivity starts at the source. We are committed to sustainable forestry where tree growth always exceeds felling rates. UPM plants 100 trees per minute and our timber production runs entirely on renewable energy, which means that our emissions from production are very low. 

 

Responsibility is actions for a more sustainable future

 

Setting the Standard in Product and Service Quality

Sustainably grown and high in quality, UPM’s wide range of sawn timber products excels in even the most demanding joinery, packaging, furniture, construction, planing and distribution end-uses. Our timber is sawn in Finland from robust Nordic pine and spruce. We use certified chain of custody and controlled wood systems verified by independent external auditors to ensure that our wood is 100% sustainably sourced. Sales and logistics networks in Europe, Asia and MENA ensure exceptional service.

Setting the Standard in Long-Term Partnerships

We grow together with our customers. Spanning five decades, UPM Timber’s longest partnerships are built on continuous dialogue and shared progress. The key is personal service: we listen to our customers’ needs and develop our operations accordingly.
