Billerud continues to integrate sustainability into its core strategy, guided by Science Based Targets for net-zero emissions by 2050 and reinforced governance structures. The company earned A-ratings from CDP in both Climate and Forests categories, maintaining Leadership status. New EVP Sustainability & Public Affairs Sofia Hedevåg highlighted Billerud's fact-based approach using high-quality data, clear targets, and consistent monitoring. Recent progress includes advancing the CO₂ reduction roadmap with improved data and closer follow-up, alongside enhanced supplier risk assessments and forest sourcing transparency. Hedevåg noted these steps provide better control over emissions and raw material risks, embedding sustainability in business decisions. For customers and investors, Billerud focuses on performance, transparency, and competitiveness through fiber-based solutions that lower climate impact and enable circularity. Opportunities lie in helping clients decarbonize packaging and reduce waste, turning sustainability into a competitive advantage across the value chain.
