Amcor continues to achieve significant progress in its efforts to enhance sustainability and reduce plastic waste. In this year’s sustainability report, Amcor reveals its delivery against key target areas and re-establishes the central role that sustainability plays.
Highlights include progress in bringing product offerings in line with sustainability commitments; an increased use of post-consumer recycled materials; continued efforts to run operations efficiently and in line with environmental standards; and increased partnership activity. Amcor joined WWF ReSource: Plastic initiative, a global consortium of companies and organisations collaborating to keep waste out of the environment.
David Clark, Vice President for Sustainability at Amcor, said: “At Amcor we believe that winning for the environment means that we are winning as a business. As a market leader, we’re committed to using our innovation capabilities to ensure that all of our products are recyclable or reusable by 2025 – but we know that this is only one stage of the cycle. A sustainable, responsible approach to packaging requires more than just recyclable products, it also needs infrastructure development and customer action. This year’s sustainability report outlines our continued work to achieve more sustainable outcomes and to use our unique position to accelerate more sustainable solutions.”
Amcor’s 2020 Sustainability Report has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards: Core option and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Containers & Packaging Sustainability Accounting Standard version 2018-10. This is the ninth year that Amcor has reported in accordance with GRI and the first year it has reported using the SASB Standards.
