UPM Augsburg Environmental and societal responsibility 2025
Environmental and Societal responsibility 2025 UPM Augsburg UPM Augsburg is located on the edge of Augsburg city center. Founded in 1849, the site currently employs around 260 employees and produces up to 350,000 metric tons of coated supercalendered printing paper in reels per year. The paper is primarily used for magazines, newspaper inserts, advertising brochures, and sales and mail order catalogues. In addition to recovered paper and pigments, virgin fibers such as groundwood pulp and chemical pulp from sustainably managed forests are used as raw materials for paper production. The water required for the production process comes from deep wells on the mill site. The wastewater is cleaned in Augsburg’s municipal treatment plant. The steam required for the papermaking process is generated in a combined heat and power plant operating on natural gas. The mill’s electricity is supplied via the national grid. The Augsburg site is also home to the head office of UPM Communication Papers and its functions. UPM Augsburg Environmental and Societal Responsibility 2025 is a supplement to the Corporate Environmental and Societal Responsibility Statement of UPM’s pulp and paper mills (available at www.upm.com) and provides mill-specific environmental and societal performance data and trends for the year 2025.
