Restatements of information |
With the sale of the Augusta (Georgia), Catawba (South Carolina), Fairmont (Virginia) and Thorold (Ontario) mills, baselines for indicators were adjusted during the 2018 and 2019 reporting periods. In addition, some of the data reported may be slightly different than previously disclosed due to adjustments resulting from data verification and our efforts to standardize reporting across all operations, namely scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For some of our operations, GHG emissions factors are confirmed by utilities only after data has been disclosed publicly. |
