The company’s score remains among the highest achieved in this category by any North America-based forest products company, reflecting its strong commitment to responsibly managing the natural resources in its care. Resolute has reported to CDP’s forests programs since 2012, the year the program launched.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Resolute increased its score in the climate change category to a “B” from “B-”, maintaining its placement at the management level. The improvement reflects the concrete actions it has taken on climate issues, and the steps it has implemented to manage the carbon footprint. The company has reported to CDP’s climate change program since 2006, beginning with scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, and adding scope 3 (supply chain) emissions in 2015.

WATER SECURITY

The company sustained a “B” in the water security category, a management level score that reflects the actions it has taken to evaluate and manage environmental risks relating to its use and treatment of water. Resolute began reporting to CDP’s water security disclosure program in 2013.
