Quad's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Quad reported carbon emissions related to its operations, with a focus on Scope 1 and 2 emissions. The company disclosed a production emission factor of approximately 2.451 kg CO2e per 1 million pieces printed. This figure reflects their commitment to monitoring and managing their carbon footprint in the printing sector. Looking back at previous years, Quad's emissions data shows a production emission factor of about 6.03 kg CO2e per 1 million pages printed in 2021, and approximately 6.32 kg CO2e per 1 million pages printed in 2020. This indicates a potential trend towards improved efficiency in their operations, although specific reduction targets or achievements have not been outlined in their current commitments. Quad has not disclosed any specific science-based targets (SBTi) or significant climate pledges, nor does it appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent company. The absence of detailed reduction initiatives suggests that while Quad is aware of its emissions, it may need to establish clearer climate commitments to align with industry standards. Overall, Quad's emissions data highlights its ongoing efforts to track and manage its carbon footprint, but further transparency regarding reduction targets and initiatives would enhance its climate commitment profile.
