Quad's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Quad reported carbon emissions associated with its operations, focusing on the printing sector. The company disclosed a production emission factor of approximately 2.451 kg CO2e per 1 million pieces printed, reflecting its Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This data is part of a broader commitment to sustainability, although specific total emissions figures for the year were not provided. In previous years, Quad's emissions per million pages printed were approximately 0.603 kg CO2e in 2021 and about 0.632 kg CO2e in 2020, indicating a slight improvement in efficiency over time. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, as no such commitments were reported. Quad operates without cascaded emissions data from a parent company, maintaining its own reporting standards. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction targets suggests that while Quad is aware of its environmental impact, it may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards.
