Kingsey Falls, Québec (News release) - For the fourth year in a row, the media, research and financial information products company Corporate Knights has named Cascades one of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations. Of the 6,000 organizations and more analyzed, Cascades ranked 20th. For the second straight year, Cascades ranked first among the 54 organizations analyzed in the Containers & Packaging category.

The Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World ranking is the result of a performance analysis of international corporations with more than $1 billion in revenues. In the evaluation, 25 key performance indicators across four areas (economy, environment, social and governance) are taken into account. The weighting of these indicators is defined according to each industry. Cascades stands out thanks to its high percentage of clean revenue, i.e. from the sale of eco-friendly products, in addition to its sustainable investments, the alignment of its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets with international recommendations, the inclusion of sustainability objectives in the performance evaluations, and gender diversity on its board of directors.

This is one of many times that Cascades has been recognized for sustainability over the years and bears witness to its will to outdo itself and always do more for the well-being of communities and the planet--a commitment it has reaffirmed in its latest 2021-2025 Sustainability Action Plan.

"The importance of developing a circular economy to protect our resources has been at the center of Cascades' business model for almost 60 years.
