Lecta publishes its first Sustainability Report

Lecta presents its first Sustainability Report integrating the three essential areas – environmental, social and governance – used to assess the sustainable performance of organizations.

In 2022, Lecta formalized a complete ESG strategy as a key pillar of its long-term corporate activities, and in this first 2022 Sustainability Report it specifies the most relevant aspects and ambitious improvement objectives with a view to the 2030 Agenda. Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are also well defined in order to measure our continuous progress in this commitment.

“We have been working for a long time on sustainability issues, and we have now formulated clear targets and our roadmap toward 2030,” states Gilles Van Nieuwenhuyzen, CEO of Lecta.

Fully aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Lecta affirms its contribution to 11 of them identified as the most relevant for the Group. With environmental protection as a basic principle, it focuses its efforts in this area and is accountable for the results of best practices and investment to reduce water consumption, to guarantee and increase the purchase of certified wood and pulp and to continue improving in energy efficiency, the latter resulting in the launch of more than 25 projects in 2022.

Consolidated net sales of $269.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 increased 67 percent compared with $161.4 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase includes strong volume growth in both segments, including net sales from the Itasa acquisition of $33.2 million. The impact from lower net selling prices was mostly offset by favorable currency effects. Excluding the Itasa acquisition, net sales grew 4% from the first quarter of 2021. Operating loss of $32.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 decreased compared to operating loss of $58.5 million in 2020. The operating loss of $32.6 million in 2021 resulted primarily from non-routine charges of $51.9 million, including asset restructuring costs resulting from the Appleton Mill closure, loss on debt extinguishment, acquisition and integration costs, pension settlement losses and other restructuring items as detailed in the GAAP reconciliation table.
