FINLAND (News release) -- The Supreme Administrative Court of Finland dismissed the appeal made against the environmental permit package for Metsä Group's Kemi bioproduct mill, as well as the appeal regarding the decision on the environmental permit package issued by the Vaasa Administrative Court on November 14, 2022. Consequently, the environmental and water permits for the Kemi bioproduct mill have become legally binding on February 14, 2024.
