TAKING RESPONSIBLE ACTION EVERY DAY

Over the last few decades, our society gradually became aware of the need to respect the environment and companies came to realize how important it is to protect the air, water and resources they use, while individuals now understand that the choices they make each and every day have a real impact on our planet, the most precious asset we will leave to our children.

Since its beginnings in 1904, Kruger Inc. has been concerned not only about the environment, but also about the quality of life of its employees, the well-being of the communities where it operates and the expectations of consumers who rightly demand products that are eco-friendly.

In practice, that concern is expressed by stringent policies, responsible decisions and concrete action. Integrating sustainable development principles into our activities at our mills and head office is a constant priority.

Today, we are proud to be one of the largest producers of renewable energy in Canada; to offer consumers and companies premium-quality paper products and packaging that contain 100% recycled fiber; to have reduced the intensity of our greenhouse gas emissions by more than 60% since 1990; and to be one of North America’s leading recyclers of paper and paperboard.

These are just a few examples of the progress made by Kruger Inc. since 1904 and that attest to our desire to improve our environmental performance by reducing our ecological footprint. We are pleased to provide you with this environmental report, which will enable you to judge our environmental efforts and commitments.

Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
