REIMAGINE 2030

THE NEXT 10 YEARS

With a full year of Reimagine 2030 completed, we are even more motivated to continue our pursuit to leave this planet healthier than when we found it, demonstrating that it is possible to grow while simultaneously reducing our environmental footprint.

We actively seek out opportunities to achieve our targets. Packaging is an area we have been focused because we know we can make important changes. We are proud to be the first Canadian tissue manufacturer to join Canada's Plastic Pact (CPP), and work alongside other industry and government leaders to move towards a circular plastics economy.

In 2021, we made our first step towards a future roll-out of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across our operations with the integration of a digital twin of the supply chain for our Sherbrooke, QC plant. Using real-time data augmented with AI capabilities, the system optimizes the plant's activities, from raw materials procurement to customer deliveries, helping to lower GHG emissions, improve energy efficiency and reduce waste.

Our people are our greatest strength, and we take great pride in providing a workplace that enables them to thrive and be their best selves. During 2021, we continued to find new ways to connect with employees and strengthen our corporate culture while working remotely.
Community support has always been central to who we are at Kruger Products Inc. We believe that we are interconnected and depend on each other to make our world a positive place. We are proud to be part of a new community development project with Zibi in Gatineau, QC. Our plant will provide energy recovered from effluents to help heat the tenants and residents of the 34-acre waterfront city, making it the National Capital region's first zero- carbon-emission community and the first in North America to use post-industrial effluent heat in a master-planned community.

2021 PROGRESS  REPORT

We've come a long way since the launch of our first formal sustainability program in 2010. We've made considerable progress and are proud of our team's innovation and determination. Reimagine 2030 includes four pillars: Planet Positive, Products Empower, Employee Impact and Community Embrace.

We are actively working to improve our impact, strengthen our communities and support our employees every day. Together we learn, we dream, we share, and we create. And central to every decision we make is our mission - making everyday life more comfortable.
