Cascades has set several climate commitments. Based on information from Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and various sustainability reports, Cascades Inc. commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from non-paper mill activities by 27.5% by 2030, compared to a 2019 base year. For paper mills, the company aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 38.7% per metric ton of saleable products over the same timeframe. Additionally, Cascades Inc. is committed to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions by 22% per metric ton of sold products by 2030 from a 2019 base year. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C, as validated by SBTi. The company also aims to achieve 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
