Quad's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Quad reported carbon emissions related to its operations, specifically in the scope of paper production, with emissions of approximately 2.451 kg CO2e per 1 million pieces printed. This figure reflects the company's commitment to monitoring and reducing its carbon footprint in the paper and paperboard sector. In previous years, Quad's emissions were recorded at about 0.632 kg CO2e per 1 million pages printed in 2020 and approximately 0.603 kg CO2e per 1 million pages printed in 2021. This indicates a slight improvement in emissions intensity over the years, showcasing Quad's ongoing efforts to enhance sustainability in its production processes. However, it is important to note that Quad has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. This lack of defined targets suggests that while the company is tracking emissions, it may need to establish clearer commitments to drive significant reductions in its overall carbon footprint. Overall, Quad's emissions data highlights its focus on sustainability within the paper industry, but further transparency regarding reduction strategies and targets would strengthen its climate commitments.
