- Higher GHG emission intensity in 2023 due to the acquisition of the Recovery business unit and the exclusion of their production volume from calculations.
- Supply chain emissions (83% of total emissions) requiring a multi-faceted approach to reduction.
- Increased LTI frequency rate in 2023 due to the Hanna Paper acquisition.
