A large industrial company such as M-real affects its surrounding society in many ways. For us, corporate responsibility means that we have to pay attention to what the stakeholders expect of us and be open to dialogue.
We have production facilities in five countries in Europe and a presence in over seventy countries through our worldwide sales and merchants networks. The local involvement is diverse and includes cooperation with forest owners, decision-makers, the media, politicians and authorities.
By cooperating with schools, we try to raise young people's interest in science, particularly in pulp and paper production technology. At a higher level, we also cooperate with universities and polytechnics relevant to our recruitment needs. Our production units host visits hold open-door events and provide donations.
