Cascades Inc. has confirmed the launch of its fifth Sustainability Plan, which brings together a range of concrete actions and reaffirms the company’s commitment to actively contributing to sustainability by working collaboratively with its customers, suppliers, and business partners.
Cascades is also taking this opportunity to announce the signing of several partnerships focused on biodiversity and environmental preservation, a key pillar of its new plan. The company is renewing its agreements with Parc Marie‐Victorin, the David Suzuki Foundation, and the Granby Zoo, establishing a new partnership with Wildlife Habitat Canada, and continuing its collaboration with Mission 1000 Tonnes.
Titled ‘Rising together’, this new 2026–2030 Sustainability Plan is built around four pillars: Protected Nature, Eco-designed Products, Fulfilled Employees, and Engaged Partners. Developed over several months and informed by consultations involving employees, suppliers, customers, partners, and members of executive management, the plan provides a clear roadmap to guide Cascades’ actions over the next five years. Comprising 18 commitments and 10 measurable targets, it will enable the company to increase its positive impact while reducing its environmental footprint — as well as that of its customers. To achieve this, Cascades is committed to:
- Continuing to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its operations and supply chain, in line with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) requirements;
- Ensuring that its virgin fibre sourcing comes from well-managed forests and does not contribute to deforestation or the conversion of natural ecosystems;
- Working with responsible suppliers who meet its environmental, social, and human rights requirements;
- Further strengthening its health and safety prevention efforts by positioning itself among industry leaders in terms of recordable incident rates.
