2010 is the second year that Billerud has reported its sustainability work in line with the Global Reporting Initiative’s Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (version 3.0). Billerud applies reporting level A, as confirmed by Billerud’s auditors Ernst & Young.

GRI index

Work on determining the content of the report is based on weighing up what is important to Billerud’s business, the company’s responsibility for the rights of its employees, its impact on society and the environmental responsibility incumbent upon a pulp and paper manufacturing industry. Billerud intends to report sustainability in line with GRI each year as an integrated part of the annual report and on the company’s website. Billerud applies GRI’s performance indicators and reports on all key indicators that are relevant to its business.
