Sustainability Agenda
Sustainability is at the core of our strategy and business. Our vision is to be the frontrunner in nonwovens innovation and sustainability. Sustainability is an integral part of all our operations.
Sustainability Agenda 2025–2030
Suominen’s Sustainability Agenda is built around four key themes that reflect the most important topics for the company and its stakeholders: People and safety, Sustainable nonwovens, Low impact manufacturing and Corporate citizenship. These themes are based on Suominen’s double materiality assessment, completed in 2024.
