Michał Jarczyski
CEO Arctic Paper S.A.
What were the most
important events
in 2021?
2021 was a special year
that was marked both
by the pandemic, and
by the increased focus
on sustainability. For
Arctic Paper, 2021 was
a good year in which
we strengthened our
positions in the market,
at the same time as we
worked on developing
our business model.
In the autumn of 2021,
we launched our new
strategy – 4P – which
means that we diversify
and add two new pillars
to our existing business:
renewable packaging
and green energy. We
already have a founda-
tion, expertise and expe-
riences in these two areas
and see great potential
for the future. During the
year, we also had time
to take important steps
towards realizing the new
strategy in both energy
and packaging.
What does the new
strategy mean for your
sustainability work?
Arctic Paper has its
origins and heritage
in renewable products
and has long worked to
reduce the environmental
footprint of the Group's
products. The new 4P
strategy takes it a step
further by broadening our
business with a focus on
the circular economy. We
are good at affordable
green energy; now we
are gradually building
up capacity that not
only makes us self-suf-
cient but with the aim of
becoming a net seller of
electricity from solar, wind
and hydropower in the
future. This will be done
step by step in various
projects as we gradually
are learning from pilot
investments such as the
solar farm in Kostrzyn. We
are gradually learning.
The shift to packaging
without petroleum-based
plastics benets our
growing packaging busi-
ness and we are building
a new ber tray factory
in Kostrzyn together with
our subsidiary Rottneros,
based on renewable
resources.

CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY REPORT 2021
What is your most impor-
tant sustainability goal?
The ultimate goal is to
become climate neutral
by 2035, while our
paper and packaging
business aim to reach
this goal already by
2030. But we are taking
many small steps, day
by day, towards a more
sustainable company
in both social and
environmental terms
with resilient govern-
ance. It is ultimately
the customers and the
surrounding society that
dene what is sustain-
able. We are therefore
humble because we
need to change our work
and adjust our goals as
our view of sustainability
changes. Arctic Paper's
CSR report is our way of
sharing about that work
and how well we are
performing.
What does it mean
for your employees all
over Europe?
Climate change,
pandemics, protection of
the biosphere and digi-
talisation are the biggest
challenges of our time.
We continue our efforts
in education and training,
in increasing diversity
and in creating equal
and fair treatment within
the Arctic Group. And
to use this knowledge
also to support local and
international projects
to achieve these global
goals, while taking social
needs into account.
How does the EU's
taxonomy affect
the perception of
sustainability?
Firstly, the new taxonomy
is not complete, it is a
work in progress, but
it illustrates well that
the view of sustaina-
bility may change over
time. Currently there
are different opinions
about energy solutions or
modern forest manage-
ment just to mention two.
But we are completely
convinced that products
based on a renewable
and circular raw material
that stem from sustain-
ably managed forests
and produced with green
energy will be in demand
and seen as sustainable
also in the future. And we
are committed to always
buy raw materials from
sustainably managed and
certied forests.
How has the pandemic
affected Arctic Paper?
Arctic Paper has during
2021 been successful
in protecting the busi-
ness from impact of the
pandemic. The local
policies implemented
and adjusted out from
the changes of pandemic
outbreaks, govern-
ments guidelines and
restrictions had a limited
impact on our business.
How do you see the
outlook for 2022?
Working today means
agile commitment to
new conditions due
to digitalization, covid
related measures or new
demands from society
and clients. We are
proud of the exibility
and the adaptation of
our employees in these
fast changing and chal-
lenging times. In 2022,
we will take further steps,
in line with our strategy,
to build our business in
renewable packaging
and green energy, while
maintaining our strength
in paper and pulp.

Our Heritage and Values
Arctic Paper is a company
based upon Swedish roots.
We have been manufacturing paper with craft and
dedication since 1740. Today we run some of the
most eco-friendly mills worldwide and are constantly
improving our sourcing, production, sale processes
and energy management. We try to optimise our daily
business processes to be part of circular bioeconomy.
Our reputation in the high-quality graphic paper market
is built on a long tradition of exceptional work with the
help of our brands executed by the most demanding
customers who value the proven quality of our products.
We are clear, open-minded and follow a long-term
plan in the way we act, think and appear. We are sensi-
tive towards nature and positive towards the future.
We protect natural resources and constantly create
a sound balance between people, production and
regions. We run our business in a stable, long-term and
trustworthy manner. We are a forerunner in the protec-

core markets as well as for new markets and segments.
We offer distinctive products and services built on
inventiveness and reliable quality, crafted for the most
demanding creative ideas and new technologies.
Our business operations are based on well-established

Thus, we need to ensure that all of our business oper-
ations are transparent – from sustainable sourcing, the

nication of our results to external stakeholders. We are
transparent and ethical in everything we do. In 2018 we
established a Code of Conduct for Suppliers of Arctic
Paper. In 2021 we have elaborated a new Sustainability
Policy for the entire Arctic Paper Group.

Our brands and
the design industry
At Arctic Paper, we learn from students
and students learn from working with
us. The Munken Agenda is a unique
annual design project, that started in
1996 For over a decade, Arctic Paper
has collaborated with different Euro-
pean Design Universities in creating
an artistic platform for exchanging our
passion for providing high-quality prod-
ucts with an eco-friendly and sustainable
footprint with creativity and conceptual
ideas by artists and designers. For 2019,
the creative idea and concept for the
Agenda were created by ve graphic
design students from NABA (Nuova
Accademia Belle Arti) in Milan, Italy. The
Munken Agenda is perceived as an inter-
esting design reference by art directors,
designers and agencies around Europe
and the world. For 2020, the concept was
created by graphic design students from
École Estienne in Paris, France followed
by Universities in London, England for
2021 and by the Academy of Fine Arts in
Warsaw in 2021 for the year 2022.

Governance

ethics
Business ethics
We value transparency in internal and
external relations, as any unethical
behaviour may expose us to risks of
reputational damage and nancial
loss. Our Code of Conduct contains
clear guidelines regarding the business
behaviour of our employees, including
zero-tolerance for bribes, corruption and
other unethical acts.
We are aware of the fact that our sales
ofces and purchasing and logistics
departments are those where the risks of
corruption and bribery exposure are most
signicant. Our approach to anti-corrup-
tion measures in these areas is structurally
embedded in our processes.

CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY REPORT 2021
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 2021
Number of employees who participated in the Business ethics training programme
(per year)
381
We have a 7-step approach to procure-
ment, which limits the scope for
unethical behaviour. First, we divide
item purchases into sourcing groups.
Then, we gather information about the
sourcing groups and the market. Subse-
quently, we create a portfolio of poten-
tial suppliers and choose a strategy for
each sourcing group. We then negotiate
with a selection of suppliers, and inte-
grate further with our chosen suppliers.
Lastly, we continuously monitor the
procurement market to make sure our
contracts remain competitive. As all
decisions made during this process are
never dependent on one person, the
risk of bribery or corruption is reduced.
For large investment projects, decisions
regarding investment purchases are
made by a dedicated committee, and
we are considering extending this prac-
tice to other large purchases. The logis-
tics department has a similar purchasing
system in place.
When it comes to sales, we have set
price lists approved by our management
which are communicated to members of
our sales teams. Bonuses to members of
the sales team are not tied exclusively to
their individual sales performance, but
also to the overall nancial performance
of the company. We offer bonuses to
our clients on a semi-annual and annual
basis; however, these are linked to sales
volumes, e.g., through sales volume
brackets, which are strictly monitored.
Arctic Paper does not offer other
bonuses (for example in-kind) to clients.
To us, business ethics is very much
a question of awareness. A part of
the induction programme for new
employees includes topics such as
laws and regulations, anti-bribery and
anti-corruption measures, human rights
and environmental responsibility. Since
2018, the programme covers all units
within the group. Thus, our key perfor-
mance indicator in this respect is the
number of our employees who have
attended such training.
The high target for 2022 will be reached
by implementing a training programme for
business ethics in all operations within Arctic
Paper. In order to speed up the process, the
intention is to have a training programme
in place not only for new employees, but
also for co-workers who have been with the
company for a long time.
We also aim for our employees to sign
declarations that they have familiarised
themselves with our Code of Conduct.
In 2021 our employees participated in
nano-learning in the area of business
ethics, which mainly covered corruption
and bribery topics.

Due to the fact that Arctic Paper S.A. is
a stock listed company, we are obliged
to follow the principles outlined in the
“Best Practice of GPW Listed Companies
2021”. A statement on current compli-
ance with the corporate governance prin-
ciples of GPW is published on the Arctic
Paper corporate webpage. We comply
with and adhere to all applicable laws
and regulations in the European Union
countries where we operate. A large part
of those laws and regulations are uniform
across the Union, although we are vigilant
about any differences. Legal and regu-
latory compliance is a business neces-
sity, but also a way for us to ensure the
sustainability of our operations.
We monitor the number of open legal
cases where Arctic Paper was found
guilty of abreach of law or regulation.
We separate them into business and
non-business related, as well as into
nes bigger and smaller than 2 million

tory compliance, our target is to mini-
mise our risk of being sued.
