UPM-Kymmene Re-Elects Henrik Ehrnrooth as Chair Following Annual General Meeting

UPM-Kymmene Corporation has confirmed that Henrik Ehrnrooth will continue as Chair of the Board of Directors following the company’s Annual General Meeting and subsequent constitutive board meeting. Martin à Porta was elected Deputy Chair, supporting leadership continuity as the company advances its strategic priorities. The board structure reflects a balance of experience and new perspectives following recent director changes approved at the AGM.

The Board also appointed members to its key committees, maintaining established governance frameworks. Pia Aaltonen-Forsell will continue to chair the Audit Committee, while Martin à Porta leads the Remuneration Committee. Ehrnrooth will chair the Nomination and Governance Committee, with each committee comprising members deemed independent of both the company and its major shareholders in line with the Finnish Corporate Governance Code.

The appointments follow broader AGM decisions that included approval of the financial statements, a €1.50-per-share dividend, and updates to the board composition and remuneration structures. For UPM-Kymmene, the re-election of its board leadership underscores a focus on stability and governance as the company continues to navigate evolving market conditions and long-term strategic initiatives.
