These practices create value for our customers and stakeholders by reducing environmental impacts and enhancing cost efficiency.  \nIt all starts with a tree. Trees first grow and remove CO 2  \nfrom the atmosphere before being transformed into paper and packaging solutions that are an essential part of daily human life. To provide enduring natural resources, trees that are harvested are replaced and sustainably managed. PCA foresters and our strategic partners collaborate to improve the health of working forests, which in turn supply the raw materials that our operations transform into sustainable products including biogenic/renewable energy from waste that is used to power our operations. PCA’s commitment to our circular bioeconomy is outlined in our Sustainable Business Principles on page 5  \nof this report.  \nPCA designers and packaging  \nengineers collaborate with our customers to develop right-sized, highperforming packaging solutions that are widely recycled and sometimes reused.1 As illustrated in the accompanying graphic, our circularity is depicted by our sustainable forest management, sustainable manufacturing and responsible consumption—all pivotal for sustaining biodiversity.  \nSustainable Production  \nSustainable Forest Management  \n& Conservation  \nResponsible Consumption  \nSustainable Manufacturing  \nS  \nU  \nS  \nT  \nA  \nI  \nN  \nA  \nB  \nL E  \nH  \nARV ES  \nT  \nI  \nN G  \nWe inhabit a single planet, an interconnected system upon which all life depends. PCA’s use of raw materials from carbon sinks (sustainably managed forests), creation and use  \n Natural Systems, supported by Humans  Human Systems, supported by Nature  \nof biogenic fuels from wood waste to power our mills with renewable energy, high product recycling rates and our pursuit of carbon capture technologies aim to result in net-zero emissions from our operations and supply chain by 2050, offering reasons for optimism as we work to avoid the worst impacts of climate change while creating value for all of our stakeholders.  \nPCA and our industry’s commitment to a circular bioeconomy not only safeguards natural resources but also illustrates a practical path toward achieving ambitious sustainability goals. Together, we can foster an environment where both natural and human systems thrive in harmony.  \n1 In 2023 the old corrugated containers (OCC) recycling rate was 71%-76%: the U.S. paper recycling rate was 65%-69%. | AF&PA ([afandpa.org](afandpa.org))  \n2024 Responsibility Report  \nAbout This Report 2  \nExecutive Statement 3  \nVISION AND STRATEGY 4  \nSustainable Business Principles 5  \nMateriality 6  \nStakeholder Engagement 8  \nESG Leadership and Governance 9  \n OUR BUSINESS 10   \nCompany Profile 11  \nMap of Operations 12  \n POLICY AND PLANNING 13   \nETHICS AND INTEGRITY 14  \nCorporate Governance 14  \nCorporate Integrity and Compliance 16  \nCompliance and Ethics Training 17  \n PLANET 18   \nENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE 19  \nClimate Change 19  \nEmissions 27  \nEnergy 30  \nWater and Effluents 33  \nWaste 38  \nPRODUCT STEWARDSHIP 40  \nRaw Materials 40  \nProduct Safety and Chemicals Management 40  \nEnd-of-Life Treatment 41  \nSustainable Forest Management 42  \nSustainable Fiber Sourcing 44  \nDue Diligence System and Risk Assessment 46  \nBiodiversity and Water Quality 47  \n PEOPLE 48   \nHEALTH AND SAFETY 49  \nOccupational Health and Safety 49  \nConsumer Health and Safety 54  \nOPPORTUNITIES, CULTURE AND ENGAGEMENT 55  \nEmployment 55  \nLearning and Development 59  \nDiversity, Equity and Inclusion 64  \nEmployee Engagement 66  \nCorporate Giving 67  \nMeeting Customer Expectations 69  \nAPPENDIX 71  \nDisclaimer and Forward-Looking Statements 72  \nGRI Index 73  \nSASB Index 73  \nTCFD Index 73  \nTNFD Index 73  \nMembership of Associations 74  \nList of Colleges Where We ","cbCaisTwlfJQyfzd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisTwlfJQyfzd","pdf",3305958,88,"English","# About This Report\n## Executive Statement\n# Vision and Strategy\n## Sustainable Business Principles\n# Materiality\n# Stakeholder Engagement\n# ESG Leadership and Governance\n# Our Business\n## Company Profile\n## Map of Operations\n# Policy and Planning\n## Ethics and Integrity\n## Corporate Governance\n## Corporate Integrity and Compliance\n# Planet\n## Environmental Performance\n## Climate Change\n## Emissions\n## Energy\n## Water and Effluents\n## Waste\n# Product Stewardship\n## Raw Materials\n## Product Safety and Chemicals Management\n## End-of-Life Treatment\n## Sustainable Forest Management\n## Sustainable Fiber Sourcing\n## Due Diligence System and Risk Assessment\n## Biodiversity and Water Quality\n# People\n## Health and Safety\n## Consumer Health and Safety\n## Opportunities, Culture and Engagement\n# Appendix","[{\"question\":\"What period does PCA’s 2024 Responsibility Report cover?\",\"answer\":\"It covers PCA’s operations from January 1 through December 31 of 2024, focusing on progress and preparation for 2024 and beyond.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report define PCA’s circular bioeconomy approach?\",\"answer\":\"It connects sustainable forest management, sustainable manufacturing and responsible consumption, supported by responsible raw-material sourcing and product stewardship.\"},{\"question\":\"Which reporting frameworks guide the report’s preparation?\",\"answer\":\"The report is produced with guidance from GRI Universal Standards, SASB, TCFD and TNFD, and it goes through validation, review and approval processes.\"},{\"question\":\"What long-term climate target does PCA emphasize?\",\"answer\":\"The report describes a pursuit of carbon capture technologies and aims for net-zero emissions from operations and the supply chain by 2050.\"}]","PCA 2024 Responsibility Report - Circular Bioeconomy and ESG Performance | PDF",222]
