We believe the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) should be transformed to better address climate change and biodiversity loss while also enhancing societal resilience and agricultural profitability. Through our CAP Dialogue Initiative, we unite diverse stakeholders to identify and promote comprehensive, sustainable solutions to the challenges facing agriculture.
We are faced with two options: we can update the colors of the Finnish flag to reflect the current state of the Baltic Sea, or we can strive to restore our sea to its original colors. We believe in the latter—and we need your help to make it happen.

Green Flag Raised on Topelius Day
On Topelius Day, 14 January 2026, BSAG will raise a new flag reflecting the current state of the Baltic Sea. Instead of Finland’s traditional blue and white, the Baltic Sea flag features a green cross on a grey background. Through the Baltic Sea Green Cross Flag campaign, BSAG aims to draw attention to the sea’s critical condition and to the urgent need to protect it.

We can protect the Baltic Sea, the climate, and biodiversity through large and small scale actions as individuals and collectively.

UPM is committed to BSAG’s Ship Waste Action initiative, and we challenge other charterers to join us. We move millions of tonnes of cargo every year. Discharging wastewater ashore is not difficult, but it requires cooperation and coordination. We have been extremely well received by ports and shipping companies – everyone is ready for change.
