Report by ERA Research

ERA Forest Products Research released their latest report on ESG commitments, progress and gaps for pulp, paper, packaging and tissue companies. Within the sphere of pulp producers, Mercer and Sappi are cited as examples of companies with strong disclosure and targets. In European paper, pulp and packaging, ambitious targets appear common but data and disclosures are healthy, with firms including UPM and Billerud mentioned. In the packaging, paper and tissue industry, WestRock appears to lead the way, with Graphic Packaging also referenced as having good targets that could spur near-term action.
