CMPC was listed as the second most sustainable forestry company in the world, according to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. The company scored 6 points higher on the prestigious indicator compared to the previous year.
“This tremendous result is the best proof that the path adopted by CMPC a few years ago is the right one. For us, sustainability is not only part of the business, we are convinced that without sustainable performance, there simply is no business”, said the CEO of Empresas CMPC, Francisco Ruiz-Tagle.
Likewise, the Head of Sustainability at CMPC, Nicolás Gordon, stated that “in 2019 we set long-term sustainability goals in the most relevant aspects of a much broader sustainable development agenda that today at CMPC we are implementing at a steady pace. We are honored to have received this recognition, which reaffirms that we are on the right track, demonstrating leadership and resilience, even in years as complex as the current one”.
