Reporting On Our Progress

Reporting On Our Progress

The Novolex sustainability vision rests on three pillars – Products, Operations, and People and Communities. These pillars and their supporting key performance indicators (KPIs) serve to advance our environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives companywide. The 2023 Novolex Sustainability Report continues to advance the transparency of our reporting across each pillar by expanding data collection and commitments. The report, which is published in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative, details several notable advancements, including a breakdown of Novolex Scope 3 emissions, updated figures on recycled content as well as progress towards our 30% by 2030 greenhouse gas reduction target.

Supporting Customers

Novolex partners with our customers to meet their sustainability goals by offering choice, innovation and sustainability. Our commitment to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 30% per ton of production by 2030 supports customer climate goals. Our broad selection of products made with certified, bio-based and recycled materials can help reduce the environmental footprint of packaging. Many Novolex products are recyclable, compostable or can be reused. We also support customers’ ability to quantify emissions, conducting product carbon footprint (PCF) analyses that can inform purchasing decisions that advance climate goals.
