RRD expands emissions reduction plan worldwide

RRD has expanded its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction plan from manufacturing locations in the US and Mexico to worldwide, now including Asia, Europe, and Latin America.

RRD made significant progress towards its global 10-year 25 percent GHG emissions reduction goal by realizing a GHG reduction of more than 12.5 percent in 2023 compared to its 2022 baseline.

The annual emissions data and reduction in emissions are third-party verified. They will be disclosed in the 2024 response to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). This nonprofit runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states, and regions to manage their environmental impacts.

RRD’s 10-year roadmap will lower emissions across its operations by implementing energy efficiency programs and technologies, including energy-efficient lighting initiatives, heat recovery, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) upgrades, as well as optimizations in pneumatic systems and investments in alternative energy.

‘As a global organization, we recognize our actions have far-reaching effects across every country we operate in. It was essential for us to expand our GHG emissions reduction plan to encompass all of our locations worldwide,’ said John Pecaric, chief operating officer at RRD. ‘This action is aligned with our company commitments to minimize our environmental impact and continually improve the sustainability of our operations.’
