"As a global technology and service supplier we deal with local communities and cultural surroundings around the world every day. The UN Global Compact is a valuable common reference that describes the values we respect and wish to promote in our operations," explains Pasi Laine, President and CEO of Valmet Corporation.
The UN Global Compact is the world's largest corporate responsibility initiative, which was announced in 2000 by Kofi Annan, the former Secretary-General of the UN. It has over 8,000 business and non-business participants in 135 countries. Members of the initiative are committed to voluntarily following the ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption in their businesses. Valmet's operations are aligned with these principles.
Valmet Corporation is a leading global developer and supplier of services and technologies for the pulp, paper and energy industries.
