UPM, Helsinki, Finland, will supply roughly nine million sheets of copy paper -- in cooperation with office supplies company, Lyreco -- to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, December 7-18. UPM Future from the company's Docelles mill in France was selected due to its environmental features, including sustainable sourcing of wood raw material and the EU Eco-label, the official EU mark awarded only to products that have a reduced environmental impact during their entire life cycle. Since 1990, UPM has invested more than EUR 1 billion in the production of renewable energy. These long-term investments have reduced fossil CO2 emissions by 40% per metric ton of paper. The group is also the world's biggest user of recovered paper in the production of graphic papers.
