Insights into Sappi's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways

As of 2023, Sappi has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2), but not its value chain emissions (Scope 3). This means its reduction efforts currently focus on direct and purchased energy emissions.

Does Sappi have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?

As of 2023, Sappi has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.

Sappi's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 41.5% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 0.893 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Metric Tonne (mt) of Unspecified Product from Unspecified Activities in 2019.

Instead of reducing operational emissions, Sappi has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2019 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
