UPM has constantly improved its financial, social and environmental performance. Over the coming years, we can allocate more capital to growing and transforming the company while simultaneously distributing attractive dividend to our shareholders and maintaining headroom in our strong balance sheet.
UPM’s strong and balanced business portfolio in renewable fibres, advanced materials and decarbonization solutions provides us with a number of attractive growth opportunities in the coming years. With head office in Finland, our main markets are in Europe, Asia and North America.
We seek profitable, sustainable growth through performance and capitalizing on our major
investments. Our strong and balanced business portfolio in renewable fibres, advanced materials and decarbonization solutions provides us with several attractive growth opportunities in the coming years.
UPM’s decarbonization solutions provide innovative biochemicals, biofuels, and CO2-free energy as sustainable alternatives to fossil-based materials and resources.
UPM’s communication papers offers the widest range of magazine papers, newsprint and fine papers. These products are ideal for advertising and publishing, as well as for everyday use in homes and offices.
A need for sustainable choices increases demand for our products and attracts
investor interest. We aim to grow our earnings and valuation in the coming years,
while providing our shareholders with an attractive dividend.
Increasing our share of sustainability-driven higher-margin growth businesses improves our long-term profitability and increases the value of our shares. On average, our growth businesses have EBIT margins more than twice as high as the mature graphic paper business.
Our strong balance sheet mitigates risks and enables us to implement our strategy, even in uncertain times.
We make good use of commercial strategies, tight cost control, material and energy efficiency, effective capital allocation, and efficientuse of assets to continuously improve our financial performance. We seize opportunities through our agile operating model, while capitalising on corporate synergies.
Consumer megatrends are driving growth in demand for most of our products. This is further supported by the increasing need for sustainable alternatives to fossil-based materials and energy. We grow businesses with strong long-term demand fundamentals, where we have a clear competitive advantage. Thus, we seek further earnings growth in advanced materials and decarbonisation solutions and strive to capture opportunities in higher growth geographies. This underpins attractive returns on invested capital.
We see sustainability as a key driver of growth and competitiveness. We are seizing the opportunities presented by responsible consumer choices and stricter regulations to mitigate climate change and address the plastics challenge, for example. Responsible operations and value chains help mitigate risks.
We drive innovation to create high-value business opportunities – for example, in renewable biochemicals, biofuels and specialty packaging materials. Successful commercialization and scaling up to a significant size are important. We protect our intellectual property.
