Quebec, Canada based Kruger has again earned an Eco- Vadis Gold Medal for its sustainability initiatives, with an overall score of 86 out of 100, up five points from 2025. With this score for 2026, Kruger ranks in the 98th per- centile of the 175,000-plus companies, across more than
180 countries, to be assessed by EcoVadis based on its sus- tainability data standard. This places the pulp and paper company among the global top 2 percent for the past year. “Earning a place among the world’s top-performing or- ganizations is an accomplish-
ment we are proud to share,” says Éric Ashby, Kruger’s executive vice-president (EVP) and chief operating officer (COO). “Every day, our teams find better ways to operate, manage resources and work together. Those efforts help us build a stronger business while contributing to sustain- able prosperity.” The five-point increase reflects Kruger’s progress across several priorities, including reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improving energy efficiency, and in- creasing use of recycled materials.
