December 12, 2024 (press release) –
As part of this commitment, Billerud has committed to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, using 2022 as the baseline year.
“We have already made significant progress in European operations, and while continuing our efforts there, the largest reductions going forward will come from our North American operations. We have established plans including a dedicated organization and the necessary investments to achieve these targets,” says Ulrika Wedberg, EVP Sustainability & Public Affairs.
Wedberg continues: “2024 has been the warmest year on record, emphasizing the urgency for companies to remain focused on reducing carbon footprints. Re-committing to science-based targets is not just about setting goals; it’s about taking real, decisive action to combat climate change and move towards a low-carbon society.”
The new approved targets represent an important step in driving climate action across the packaging industry. By offering high performing and renewable materials, Billerud aims to support customers in achieving sustainability goals while contributing to the broader transition to a low-carbon economy.
