Billerud receives a new award when the international organization CDP ranks Billerud as one of the companies and organizations which are at the forefront globally in sustainability work as well as transparency in sustainability reporting.
Billerud is placed on CDP's top A-list in the "Climate" category out of a total of nearly 25,000 companies globally reviewed in 2024.
"Billerud's ranking is both honorable and a testament to our systematic and long-standing sustainability work that is world-class in a global comparison. Production in our European operations is almost fossil-free. We are now continuing our journey to reduce fossil emission in the American operations," says Ulrika Wedberg, EVP Sustainability & Public Affairs at Billerud.
"Billerud's high-performance products in renewable paper and packaging materials also contribute to a fossil-free society by replacing other materials," continues Ulrika Wedberg.
Billerud's new climate targets according Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) were recently approved, which is an important milestone in Billerud's strategy to contribute to a low-carbon society. As part of the commitment, Billerud has set a target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42 percent by 2030, with 2022 as the base year.
CDP is a global voluntary organization that aims to make environmental reporting and risk management a business norm with the aim of information, insights and actions to promote a sustainable economy. In 2024, nearly 25,000 organizations reported their environmental data through CDP.
