Company's comments
In 2020 and 2021, the health crisis had an impact on internal paper consumption following the implementation of remote work in application of government decisions or incentives in many countries. This explains why the results obtained over these years are particularly low. The previous commitment on paper consumption has been exceeded – in 2020, paper consumption in the group was 58kg/FTE with a target set at 94kg/FTE – and the previous target on responsible paper share was almost reached – in 2020, 74.6% of the Group’s paper was responsible with a target of 80%.
