SPOKANE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Clearwater Paper Corporation (NYSE: CLW) today released its 2024 Sustainability Report, an annual update on the company’s progress against their multi-year sustainability goals. Aligned with the company’s strategic sustainability framework, Everyday Responsibility, the report details sustainability work and initiatives spanning three distinct yet equally important pillars: Resource Stewardship, Trusted Products, and Thriving People and Communities.

“Reflecting on 2023, I am pleased with what we accomplished throughout the year,” said Arsen Kitch, president and chief executive officer. “All our people play a role – every day – in ensuring that we make and deliver excellent products in sustainable ways and work collaboratively with our stakeholders and each other.”

This year’s report shares progress the company made throughout 2023, as well as impactful stories and achievements that exemplify Clearwater Paper’s commitment to Everyday Responsibility. Key highlights include:

  • Developing a roadmap to help us meet our 2030 Scope 1 and 2 emissions targets, which have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
  • Receiving the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) as part of our work with Charter Next Generation (CNG).
  • Establishing the Clearwater Paper Foundation and launching our new Charitable Giving and Employee Match Programs to support our local communities.
  • Rolling out our new Safety Commitments and Lifesaving Rules and training our site leaders in holding impactful exposure reduction discussions.
  • Implementing our workforce engagement strategies to support employees, candidates and the communities where we live and work.

“While this report looks back on 2023 sustainability performance, I also want to point out major strategic accomplishments in 2024,” said Mr. Kitch. “We are transforming Clearwater Paper into a premier independent paperboard supplier to North American converters through two key actions. Earlier this year we acquired a paperboard facility in Augusta, Georgia, and in July we announced that we have signed definitive agreements to sell our tissue business. As we transform Clearwater into a paperboard packaging supplier, we will continue to focus on improving the sustainability of our products and processes.”
