Lecta Sustainability New Challenges

Helping to create a more sustainable world

During the last year Lecta has been fine-tuning its Sustainability Strategy based on a materiality analysis involving our stakeholders. Our firm commitment to the future journey in preserving our environment will be visualized in the 2030 targets established for wood, water, energy, waste and where the Carbon Footprint impact is based on the Science Based Target Initiative process.

Carbon footprint

Carbon footprint

The structure, methodology and requirements proposed by the ISO 14064-1:2019 methodology for the calculation of OCF have been followed. This standard details the principles and requirements for the quantification of GHG inventories at the organisational level, and for the reporting of these inventories.

The work to calculate GHG was finalized in 2022 and will be the baseline for target setting in the whole group from 2023 with a commitment of a 45% reduction of Scope 1 & 2 and a 35% reduction of Scope 3 until 2030.

Water management

Water management

As Lecta is a user of water rather than a consumer, the quality of the outlet of water back to rivers, lakes and sea is critical. Chemical-physical and biological treatment of the process wastewater is done in many steps before it is discharged to the recipient.

  • % recycled water: 100-((water in-water out)/water in)*100.
  • Recycled water: A decrease by 2% vs 2021 due mainly to the dryness of climate.
  • Water consumed: m3 inlet/t produced product (including water used in the cogeneration proccess).
  • Water consumption: increase of 0.5m3 per ton of product (3.3 %) mostly due to many mills shutdown which happened during the late 2022.

Waste management

waste-management

Waste management of the process waste is done together with partners to secure a sustainable disposal as well as possibilities of reuse. This includes both the sludge as well as any contaminated wastewater treatment sludge or eventually chemicals

Pulp & fiber purchase

Pulp & fiber purchase

When paper is produced from wood fibers sourced from sustainably managed forests, it becomes a renewable material. Healthy forests act as carbon sinks, binding CO2 from the atmosphere and mitigating climate change

Lecta has in place a PEFC and FSC® C011032 Chain of Custody system to ensure the protection and responsibility for forest-based resources in a traceable manner.
