The new corporate registration was a pilot project between UPM, EU, Finnish Environmental Institute SYKE and Inspecta Certification. The local auditing was carried out by EMAS auditors in Finland, France, Germany, UK and Austria.

The new UPM EMAS statement comprises a corporate part and a mill-supplement part. The corporate report includes group-level information and core indicators on e.g. energy and material efficiency. The mill supplement deepens the corporate report with local information such as environmental targets and accomplishments.
