Lessebo Paper reports a continuous decrease in its CO2 emissions: The company emits only 19 kg of CO2 per tonne of paper. This represents a decrease of 14 per cent compared to the 2020 level, which was already historically low. The values are based on last year's data and have now been published in the environmental statement for 2021.
