Metsä Tissue lead the tissue industry in developing low-impact
processes and practices. Recycled fibre accounts for 60% of the fibre it
uses and all primary fibre suppliers are chain-of-custody certified,
ensuring sustainable forest management. Its mills have quality and
environmental management systems complying with international ISO 9001 and
ISO 140001 standards. Metsä Tissue promotes sustainable business
through its membership with World Business Council for Sustainable
Development (WBCSD). WBCSD is a global association with some 200 companies
dealing exclusively with business and sustainable development whose
membership requires fulfilment of criteria on sustainable business
practices. Katrin’s concept for saving resources is called ‘Less is More’.
It minimises paper consumption and hygiene risks thanks to high absorption
capacity, the right sheet size and touch free products. Reduced paper
consumption saves work, money and the environment and lower hygiene risks
lead to better health. ‘Less is More’ is based on an idea as creative as it
is obvious – products that do their job in the right way give maximum
performance.
