Quad's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Quad reported carbon emissions of approximately 2.451 kg CO2e per million pieces printed, reflecting their Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure indicates a significant focus on reducing their carbon footprint in the printing sector. In 2021, the emissions were about 6.03 kg CO2e per million pages printed, and in 2020, they were approximately 6.32 kg CO2e per million pages printed. Despite these figures, Quad has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Quad is aware of its emissions, it may not have set formal commitments to reduce them at this time. Overall, Quad's emissions data highlights their ongoing efforts to monitor and potentially improve their environmental impact, particularly in the context of the printing industry.
