As a Swedish producer of uncoated paper, Lessebo Paper is committed to developing high-performance and environmentally friendly papers and boards for international markets. In 2020, Lessebo Paper already published an environmental declaration reporting historically low CO2 emissions.
This year, Lessebo Paper has published an even lower figure of 19 kg CO2 per tonne of finished paper. The environmental figures of 2021 mark a progression in the company’s strong focus on the responsible management of emissions both to air and water. All figures from Lessebo Paper are accredited by an external auditor and in accordance with current standards.
“The efforts to reduce the carbon footprint at Lessebo Paper have proven to be successful and we continuously strive to further improve our environmental profile,” explains Eric Sigurdsson, CEO at Lessebo Paper. Furthermore, Sigurdsson points out “We believe that the industry has a key role to play in finding sustainable solutions to today’s climate challenges and Lessebo Paper is one of the leading companies in the transition to a sustainable society”.
