 Performance Report on the 2010-2012 Sustainable Development Plan 

 

[Green by Nature](http://bit.ly/1iQ6nys)

In 2010, we developed our first sustainable development plan, which presented key issues on which we wanted to see progress, as a logical part of our commitment to continuous improvement. It was also a way to continue our outreach and awareness-raising efforts, both internally and externally. Thus, after a long, careful stakeholder consultation process meant to confer transparency to the project and ensure its success, we came up with [18 strategic goals](http://www.cascades.com/media/multiuploader_images/56/37/88/DDPlandeveloppementdurableen.pdf)!-

**Achieved or surpassed goals**\- Reduce greenhouse **gas emissions** by favouring the use of renewable energy over fossil fuels (reached 200%)  
\- Obtain supplies from **responsible suppliers** (reached 115%)  
\- Reduce the discharge of effluent (reached 172%)  
\- Improve the **quality of treated water** by reducing the biological oxygen demand and suspended solids (reached 595%)  
\- Increase client awareness of sustainable development (reached 105%)  
\- Work closely with the industry and decision-makers (reached 190%)  
\- Collaborate transparently with stakeholders (reached 220%)
