My main task is to develop and streamline the Compliance calculations process at MetsäBoard’s Product safety and sustainability team. This process has a key role in ensuring food contact material compliance and safety of MetsäBoard paperboards, together with third party laboratory testing. I have introduced new process automation steps into the calculation process with Power BI. In addition to this, I have taken part in the daily correspondence through the team’s functional mailbox and answered many product safety related questions. My job is also to send supplier questionnaires trough PUMA portal to chemical suppliers, where we enquired information about chemicals compliance status. This is called raw material compliance.
