Ahlstrom-Munksjö and Metsä Fibre, part of Metsä Group, were sole sponsors of a new RISI PPI Safety Leadership Awards category. We are happy to announce that the winner was Resolute Forest Products.
“We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the winner. Resolute has done good work in safety, and inspire us all to develop our processes within safety audits and risk management”, says Rune Årnes Vice President, Health & Safety. “We hope RISI Safety Award will encourage companies to share their knowledge and best practices in safety thus improve the safety of the whole industry sector.”
The target for the safety award is to recognize a pulp or paper production plant for their consistent management and meritorious commitment to occupational safety, long term performance and to encourage their continuous improvement in safety.
“We see that safety has no boundaries and therefore we want to boost the collaboration with all stakeholders to promote work safety not just in our own mills but throughout the pulp and paper industry and the whole value chain. Sharing best practices, safety findings and improvement ideas helps us all to continuously improve our safety performance”, says Ari Tanninen, Vice President, Joutseno Mill, Metsä Fibre.
Ahlstrom-Munksjö and Metsä Fibre would also like to thank RISI for arranging the annual awards and their support in developing the new Safety category.
