KODAK AHEAD OF ECO TARGETS
Kodak is running ahead of its environmental targets, achieving a 56 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a 31 per cent reduction in water withdrawal, both ahead of the company’s 2025 targets.
The figures are revealed in the new edition of Kodak's sustainability report entitled “One World, One Kodak”. The report provides a comprehensive summary of ongoing sustainability initiatives and achievements across Kodak's global business activities in 2023 and through to Q3 last year.
Kodak says the accomplishments reflect its proactive approach to sustainability, as well as “a long-term vision” for a more sustainable future. Kodak says it has also made further strides in enhancing employee health, safety, and well-being, and its community impact initiatives.
According to Kodak, the 44-page report underlines how its products and technologies are enabling customers in the printing industry to become more sustainable by reducing energy, water and chemical consumption and avoiding waste.
It says innovative solutions, such as Kodak Sonora process free plates, Kodak Prosper presses and imprinting systems as well as water-based Kodachrome and Kodak Ektacolor inks, “play a crucial role” in helping printers reduce their environmental footprint. The report features various printers from around the world, who explain the positive impact of Kodak products on their sustainability efforts.
The 2024 report also contains updated information aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative, ensuring that Kodak’s customers, partners and suppliers have access to comprehensive and reliable information about the company’s sustainability performance.
“Our sustainability strategy is rooted in the belief that we can make a positive impact on the world while delivering value to our customers and shareholders,” commented Jim Continenza, executive chairman and CEO, Kodak. “Sustainability is an integral part of our growth strategy and a reflection of our corporate values.”
