In his opening address, Jean-Yves Nouaze, executive general manager at Visy Pulp & Paper, talked about the company’s strategy for decarbonisation and energy security.
“We have a relentless focus on energy efficiency across its pulp and paper factories, developing its own energy supply through on-site clean energy plants,” said Nouaze.
“Our summit is an important way for us to stay up-to-date with state-of-the-art solutions and proven technologies to further drive energy efficiency.
“By bringing experts together in one room, we have been able to generate new insights and share expertise.”
Nouaze also said the company is ensuring it remains a part of state and national policy discussions and development moving forward.
The summit also included experts presenting leading technologies and solutions, a cross-company decarbonisation workshop for sustainable paper production, and a focus on measures and projects to help achieve decarbonisation goals.
