It is also aligned with the Sustainable Develop- ment Goals of the United Nations and with the recommen- dations of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Among these are: • Reducing Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions of paper manufacturing plants by 38.7 percent by 2030 compared with 2019 (kg of CO2 eq./metric tonnes) • Reducing Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 22 percent by 2030 compared with 2019 (kg of CO2 eq./ metric tonnes) • Sourcing 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030 • Reducing paper mill water effluents by 15 percent by 2025 Drawing on its experience in R&D and innovation, Cas- cades is committed to providing its customers and con- sumers with products developed in accordance with rec- ognized eco-design principles such as: • By 2030, 100 percent of the packaging manufactured and sold by Cascades, regardless of the materials used, will be recyclable, compostable or reusable • By 2025, 100 percent of the fibres or paper used to manufacture Cascades products will be recycled or certified From a social and community perspective, Cascades will remain focused on people and their well-being by strengthening its culture of health, safety, equity, diversi- ty and inclusion. Through its sustainability action plan, the company is targeting: • 50 percent reduction in the number of days lost due to work accidents (severity rate) • 100 percent of employees trained on unconscious bi- ases related to equity, diversity and inclusion “Cascades is proud of its renewed ambition in the area of sustainable development, and we are confident we will achieve the targets we have set out thanks to our updated and ingrained governance practices,” said Hugo D’Amours, Vice President, Communications, Public Affairs and Sus- tainability. “By partnering with us, Cascades’ clients, con- sumers, investors and other stakeholders will also be able to improve their own social and environmental footprint.
