可持续的业务

International Paper plays a significant role in responding to the global climate challenge, 这反映在我们对改善气候影响的雄心勃勃的承诺上. We recognize that we have a responsibility to manage our climate-related risks and an opportunity to advance a low-carbon economy in support of decarbonizing the planet. 

Our worldwide operations use renewable natural resources to meet the growing global demand for sustainable fiber products. We are applying the best available science to improve our climate impact and advance water stewardship. 我们的业务是资源密集型的，所以我们可以发挥很大的作用. 而且，我们的目标是雄心勃勃的——这需要时间. 
Our strategy to achieve our 可持续的业务 goal is to reduce our reliance on fossil fuel, 提高能源利用效率，扩大可再生能源利用. We will reduce our operational water use intensity to improve our footprint across our businesses, 运营和价值链.

我们已经为继续前进奠定了良好的基础. 自2010年以来, we’ve continually reduced fossil fuel use and GHG emissions by reducing our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by more than 20%. Our progress has enabled us to build momentum and develop the forward pathways to achieve our GHG reduction target over the next decade. 
缩小我们的范围, 2 and 3 GHG emissions by 35% is one of our most ambitious Vision 2030 goals and the most challenging part of our climate strategy. We still have many questions to answer, but we know the direction in which we must head. 

Our GHG emissions reduction target was derived using a methodology approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global collaboration of nongovernmental organizations and experts that has defined best practices and a scientifically informed methodology for emissions reductions. Our GHG emissions target is in line with the Paris Climate Agreement goal to limit global temperature rise to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.

范围1, 我们的化石燃料排放, we are continuing to focus on projects and initiatives that improve energy efficiency and increase biomass usage to produce steam and electricity – this is also part of our scope 2 strategy. The more energy we generate the less we rely on utility provided energy, and we are exploring renewable power initiatives to add renewable energy capacity to the grid. We are building a pathway to our scope 3 targeted reductions using a collaborative approach with our suppliers and customers. 

在所有情况下，我们都将受益于电网的全面绿化. 我们的许多供应商和客户都有自己的温室气体排放目标, and we support a favorable policy environment for climate change mitigation.

We’re committed to improving our climate impact and advancing water stewardship, because we know that’s what’s needed for a livable world and a thriving society.
