UPM Raflatac receives ISO 50001 Energy Management System certification for its factory in France

UPM Raflatac’s labelstock factory in Nancy, France is the first UPM Raflatac factory to be certified to the ISO 50001 Energy Management System, that supports strongly transparency and growth of sustainability culture. The ISO 50001 requires continuous improvement in energy performance, which is measured in energy consumed per a million square meters of labelstock material produced, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

“You need technical knowledge and skills to reach the ISO 50001 targets. Accurate measuring is vital. You must know the value of each choice to make good decisions, otherwise you are blind,” emphasises Daniel Bozonnet, Manager, Environmental Market Support, UPM Raflatac.

At Nancy, the ISO 50001 process began in 2013 and the certification was received in 2015. The factory’s CO2 emissions have come down an impressive 27 % since 2012. UPM has a global target of cutting down CO2 emissions 15 % by 2020 and 30 % by 2030.
