As of 2023, Mercer International has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.
As of 2023, Mercer International has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Mercer International's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 35% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 0.206 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Metric Tonne (mt) of Pulp Produced/Manufactured in 2019.
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Mercer International has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2019 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
