Szymon Wnuk Pay to Support Manager, UPM Business Services Hub, Wroclaw, Poland Today, I made a difference by taking part in a project that will help our customers mod- ernise and streamline their operations. My biggest concern is the future of our planet and how we are not moving quickly enough to change our behaviour. I am grateful to be able tomake a difference inmy job at UPM. Meeting new people is a huge perk of the job for me and I like to think I’m a patient person, which helps a lot inmy work when it comes to supporting the team. Outside work, I love being active. My dad got me into skiing and these days I cannot wait until the winter so we can get out on the slopes together. I also enjoy cycling and badminton, as well as spending time with good friends. I also have to admit that I nev- er grew out of video gaming and it remains a real passion.

Today, I workedwithmy team to develop safe, clean and sustainable products for our customers. I feel proud that I can do my bit for the environment while also helping UPM’s clients make a difference. My biggest concern is that we need to prepare for the future before it is too late. Changes have to be made to ensure we leave a clean future for the next generation. I feel very fortunate that inmy rolewith UPM, I can help to facilitate that change. I’ve been with UPM my entire career, joining the UPM Asia Research Centre when I finished my master’s degree in 2008. Inmy free time, I love to read and travel, aswell as spend time withmy family and friends. ”My biggest concern is that we need to prepare for the future before it is too late.”
