We say goodbye to empty promises – it’s time to make a long-time commitment to sustainability. Namely, to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to net zero. Let’s commit to a better world – in mutual respect. Because if it matters – and it truly does – then put a ring on it.
Our sustainability approach
We are committed to developing sustainable solutions, valuing the collaborative partnerships with our customers and suppliers. Guided by our strong sense of social responsibility, our approach to environmental stewardship focuses on managing natural resources responsibly to preserve their viability for future generations. Our efforts include decarbonization and reducing our environmental impact (e.g. saving water and energy, reducing waste, using as few raw materials as possible). We are also dedicated to advancing the transition toward a circular economy.
Sustain360°: driving our sustainability vision forward
Sustain360° is our comprehensive sustainability project, addressing every aspect of our operations through several sub-projects. It manages regulatory requirements and drives progress via collaboration and cutting-edge technology, benefiting customers and suppliers alike. Each sub-project is dedicated to goal-setting, data gathering and tracking progress in areas such as environmental impact, circular economy, people, governance and supply chain management. Sustain360° provides a unified framework for managing and reporting on sustainability performance, strengthening our practices and initiatives.
we innovate sustainable products
As we develop our solutions, we always make sure that we use as few raw materials as we can. We satisfy the needs of different users and industries with the lightest, thinnest papers possible. Lighter paper means less pulp, lower weight, reduced transportation space, less waste – and contributes to a circular economy by promoting resource efficiency and waste reduction.
our 2030 goals:
- Maintain the high level of responsible wood pulp sourcing, purchased only from certified suppliers
- 100% of new products will fulfill our framework of responsible product design
we leverage climate actions
Driving carbon emissions to zero is a race against time. Our commitment to decarbonization in line with the SBTi Net-Zero Standard will guide our way. Achieving this objective requires a holistic approach, including energy efficiency measures at our sites, the adoption of renewable energy sources wherever possible, and consequently the reduction of GHG emissions related to upstream and downstream processes.
our 2030 goals:
- – 37% of absolute Scope 1 + 2 GHG emissions*
- – 11% of specific energy consumption **
- – 21% of specific freshwater withdrawal **
(baseline 2023, ** paper technology platform)
