Print Sustainability Metrics That Buyers Actually Care About

Sustainability metrics have shifted from a “nice to have” differentiator to a core input in procurement decisions. For many buyers, especially those operating under Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) requirements, sustainability data now plays a direct role in supplier qualification, risk assessment, and reporting accuracy. 

This shift is being driven by multiple forces. Regulatory frameworks such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and California’s climate disclosure laws are expanding the scope of required environmental reporting across global supply chains. At the same time, voluntary frameworks like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and ISO 14001 have become de facto benchmarks for how environmental performance should be measured and documented. Even when a buyer is not legally required to report, their customers, investors, or partners often are. 

As a result, buyers are no longer asking whether a print supplier has sustainability initiatives in place. They are asking whether the supplier can produce reliable, verifiable data that aligns with established reporting frameworks and can withstand internal or third-party review.

RRD Amends Existing Stockholder Rights Plan

R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved an amendment of the Company’s stockholder rights plan. The amendment raises from 10% to 15% the level of beneficial ownership of RRD common stock the acquisition of which by a person or group (other than certain passive institutional investors) would result in the rights becoming exercisable. The Rights Plan is scheduled to expire on August 28, 2021. The Board has noted that, in light of present circumstances, there is continuing potential for one or more persons or groups to gain undue influence over or control of RRD through open market accumulations or other tactics. Accordingly, the Board expects that under current circumstances it would approve an extension of the Rights Plan and submit the Rights Plan to stockholders for ratification at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. As currently contemplated by the Board, if such stockholder ratification were obtained, the Rights Plan as so extended would expire on August 28, 2022; otherwise, the Rights Plan would expire at the close of business on the first business day following the certification of the voting results for the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. The intent of the Rights Plan is to promote the best interests of all stockholders, and, if the Rights Plan is extended in August of this year, all stockholders will have the opportunity to vote on the Rights Plan in May 2022 at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.
