July 5, 2023 By Paper Excellence
Paper Excellence Canada announced it has once again been voted one of Canada’s 2022 Best 50 corporate citizens by Corporate Knights.
The Best 50 award is judged using key performance indicators that relate to the organization’s raw resource use, emissions profile, social performance, safety performance, and percentage of revenue from clean sources.
“We continue to be proud of our long association with Corporate Knights and their Best 50 program. Our sustainability report, Forward Focused: 2022 Sustainability Report, was just published last week and I encourage anyone interested in Paper Excellence Canada to read it,” said Graham Kissack, vice-president, Environment, Health & Safety and Corporate Communications.
In 2022, Paper Excellence achieved a 67 per cent reduction of its greenhouse gas emissions relative to 1990 while using an energy basket made up of 82 per cent renewables. Thirty-four per cent of the organization’s solid waste is beneficially reused or recycled while 35 per cent of its electricity comes from self-generated green power.
Paper Excellence’s products are certified to numerous independent sustainable forestry standards including the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).
