Transcontinental inc. announces an important milestone in its sustainability journey. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved TC Transcontinental’s near-term science-based emissions reduction targets. From now on, these targets will serve as TC Transcontinental’s primary measurement of progress on its sustainability objectives, including energy efficiency, clean energy procurement, and the commercialization of sustainable packaging solutions such as recycle-ready packaging solutions as well as the integration of post-consumer resin (PCR) into packaging products.
“We are now in a better position to support our customers on their own sustainability journeys, and better suited to focus our actions on what matters the most to fight climate change,” said Alex Hayden, Senior Vice President, R&D, Sustainability and ESG, TC Transcontinental. “As an industry leader in Packaging, Retail Services and Printing, we know our stakeholders expect us to mitigate climate risks while capitalizing on growth opportunities. We believe this new commitment is fully in line with those expectations.”
TC Transcontinental is committed to reducing absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% by 2030 compared to fiscal year 2021, and to reducing absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030 compared to fiscal year 2021.
