Sustainability

Sustainability is strategic at Empresas CMPC. This approach and way of performing is based on three fundamental pillars: commitment and contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda; material issues, related to the positive and negative impact of our operations and throughout our entire value chain; and the risks to which we are exposed, our neighboring communities and areas of direct and indirect influence.

Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. In this direction - publicly - we have committed to four specific sustainable development goals, which will guide all our actions until 2030, taken for each of them in 2018 as a baseline:

13.3

50% greenhouse gas emissions (direct and indirect) as of 2030.

6.4

We will decrease industrial water use per ton of product by 25% by the year 2025, including all our mills distributed in 8 countries of Latin America.

12.4 - 12.5

We will be a zero-waste at final disposal company - sanitary landfills - by the year 2025, through the reduction in the generation of waste, its valorisation as a byproduct, and the strengthening of circular models.

13.1 - 13.3 & 15.1

We will add 100 thousand hectares of conservation, restoration and/or protection by the year 2030, to the more than 325 thousand hectares that the company already conserves, restores and protects in Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

Forest certifications

The sustainable management of forest crops is one of the main pillars of CMPC, and we are committed to sustainable profitability, which we understand as the harmony between the benefits for society, the economy and the environment.

CMPC has the PEFCTM and FSC® forest management certification: Forestal Mininco SpA (FSC-C006246) and CMPC Pulp SpA Certification Group (FSC-C140582), which recognize the responsible forest management for the forest heritage, thus protecting the industrial use obtained exclusively from certified and controlled plantations.
