R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (RRD) has officially announced its commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 25% over the next 10 years. This initiative is inclusive of the company’s U.S. and Mexico manufacturing locations, which account for the largest portion of its worldwide footprint.

The target builds upon RRD’s past U.S. performance of GHG reductions of approximately 17% from 2018 to 2022.

The reduction target — a total reduction of more than 43,000 metric tons of CO2e — has been reported via the 2023 climate change questionnaire conducted by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a nonprofit that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts.

Utilizing 2022 as a third-party verified baseline year, RRD’s 10-year roadmap will lower emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) across its operations by pursuing energy efficiency programs involving several different technologies, including:
• Energy-efficient lighting initiatives, including conversion to LED lighting
• Heat recovery, a proprietary process that captures waste heat for reuse
• Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) upgrades
• Pneumatic system optimizations
• Alternative energy, via physical installations and power purchase agreements
• Demand response programs with local utilities, to reduce RRD’s energy consumption during periods of peak demand

“As a leader in the marketplace, we have a responsibility to operate ethically and create sustainable solutions with the lowest environmental impact,” says John Pecaric, COO of RRD. “Disclosing this commitment to the CDP, which we consider to be the gold standard for corporate environmental reporting, is key to ensuring the growth of RRD is intertwined with sustainable business practices.”
