Introduction to UPM's digital DNA and our core guidelines

UPM look and feel in digital channels follows UPM's overall visual identity. Accordingly, UPM’s digital channels and applications should always seem fresh, clear, modern, sharp, credible and distinguished. High quality and intentional details in graphic design communicate high quality and professionalism.
