We are honoured to have been named one of the 100 most sustainable companies in the world by TIME Magazine!   The rankings, which were released this week by the American news magazine and Statista, surveyed over 5,000 of the world’s largest and most influential companies. Each was evaluated on criteria that included external sustainability ratings, adherence to the UN Global Compact and alignment with the Science Based Targets initiative.   As a part of our Better Places plan, URW has pledged to reach carbon neutrality on scopes 1 & 2 by 2030, and across all scopes by 2050, including achieving -90% GHG emission reduction on scopes 1 & 2 by 2030, and -90% on scopes 1, 2 & 3 by 2050. Other targets include implementing renaturation projects on 100% of our assets, recycling 70% of our waste and reducing water consumption intensity by 20%, all three by 2030 (vs. 2019).   A huge thank you to TIME Magazine and Statista for launching this initiative and providing a clear benchmark for us and other companies to continue our environmental transition.

In their latest sustainability report, Ragn-Sells Group reports on 7 sustainability goals that they are working towards to become a climate-positive company by 2030. 4 of these goals are connected to the environment: 🏭 Reduce CO2e emissions ♻️ Circular solutions 🗑️ Resource focus instead of waste focus and 📦 Recycled materials in procurement.

Did you know today is International Day of Forests? We're proud to celebrate this important day by reaffirming our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. In 2022, 94% of our product revenues stemmed from paperboard solutions crafted from responsibly sourced, renewable tree fibers. We take pride in our role as a responsible steward of the environment, sourcing renewable plant-based fiber from sustainably managed forests. Our commitment to sustainability isn't just a promise – it's a fundamental part of who we are, driving us to continually innovate and lead the way towards a renewable and sustainable future.

Taking Action for a Greener Future: Reducing Carbon Footprint In the realm of IT Asset Disposition (ITAD), reducing carbon emissions and embracing sustainable practices is of utmost importance.  Reducing our carbon footprint isn't just about checking a box on our environmental to-do list; it's about safeguarding the future of our planet. Greenbox adheres to stringent environmental standards and certifications, ensuring that your IT assets are handled in accordance with best practices.

Convening stakeholders to address shared challenges can produce thoughtful, sustainable solutions. I can think of a few Canadian examples of collaborative initiatives that are advancing issues such as plastics circularity and clean energy. https://lnkd.in/gXdFnk43

🚨 It's out 🚨 You are interested in sustainable resource management, trade issues, critical raw materials and circular economy solutions? This report is for you ! With nations increasingly investing in their domestic capacities to safeguard their strategic autonomy to produce key technologies for the green transition, the global demand for critical raw materials (CRMs) to produce these technologies is skyrocketing. this report highlights how the uptake of circular economy strategies can contribute to the EU’s strategic autonomy agenda while being compatible with the Paris Agreement and the SDGs. This report also reflects on the EU’s overall material footprint in the context of global equities as the Union transitions to a climate-neutral and circular economy. Its main recommendations? sure thing: ▶ Address gaps in the Strategic Project and Partnership approaches to ensure mutually beneficial economic and environmental outcomes for both Parties (high ESG standards, circularity and add value towards global green industrialisation). ▶ Tackle circularity gaps in the general approach to managing CRMs by ensuring policy coherence between the ECRMA, ESPR, EU Batteries Regulation, Waste Framework Directive, and the Waste Shipment Regulation. ▶ Encourage the uptake of the 9Rs circular economy strategies in CRM relevant sectors and products. ▶ Contribute to closing the circular divide by pursuing multilateral cooperation efforts, including financing and capacity building. As both demand for CRMs and the application of circular economy strategies increase, the Global North will inevitably accumulate CRMs originally extracted in the Global South. ▶ Evaluate overall material footprint levels and benefits of a long-term strategy for sustainable resource management as a solution to the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
