These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are classified as consistent with keeping global warming well below 2°C. In summary, Sylvamo's climate strategy reflects a proactive approach to managing its carbon emissions, with clear reduction targets and a commitment to sustainability in the forest and paper products sector.
