The company's UPM Future grade has been selected because of its environmental features, which include sustainable sourcing of wood raw material and the EU Eco-label.

Philippe Riebel, vice president, environmental affairs, said: "We are well positioned with regards to the EU's ambitious target of having 20% of all energy derived from renewable sources by 2020."

"Today, 60% of UPM's energy consumption is produced using renewable fuels and 70% of the group's own electricity production is CO2 emission free."

Since 1990, UPM has invested more than 1bn euros in the production of renewable energy and it has reduced its fossil CO2 emissions by 40% per tonne of paper.

UPM will provide the paper in cooperation with office supplies company Lyreco.
