HR Business Partner, Sappi Finland I Oy

What do you dream of?

A child dreams of a future free from constraints. It's a great quality that we tend to lose as we grow older.

At Sappi Europe, not only do we still want to dream, we want to make our dreams come true. We will continue to consolidate and reinforce our position as one of the world's leading producer of coated fine paper.

To make our dreams come true, we need the right people to share our key employment values: integrity and trust, freedom with responsibility, courage to explore new avenues and personal development.

Do you still dare to dream? Come and talk to us if you do.
