Emissions of fossil CO2
Emissions of fossil carbon dioxide from the manufacturing process per tonne of product will be cut by 15% by 2013 (base year 2008).
Emissions of fossil carbon dioxide are considered to have a
major impact on climate change. Billerud’s aim is to cease using fossil oil in manufacturing processes in the long term. |
- Emissions of fossil CO2 from the manufacturing process per tonne of product will fall by 15% |
Emissions of fossil carbon dioxide per tonne of product were 21% lower in 2010 than in the base year of 2008. Since the 2013 target for reducing carbon dioxide has now been met, it will have to be set at a new, even higher, level. |

| Business partners |
|
|
At least five business partners must be audited annually from a sustainability perspective.

The target is for at least five business partners a year to have their sustainability reviewed. |
Five business partners were audited in 2010. The assessment showed that transport partners have developed better systems for reporting actual carbon emissions for transporting loads, as well as providing online information for drivers regarding energy consumption. Audited chemical suppliers have set goals for reducing energy consumption. |
