Amcor demonstrates packaging industry leadership by reporting to SASB standards

Amcor – a global packaging leader – has for the first time reported against SASB’s standards, setting a new benchmark for the packaging industry by becoming the first global diversified packaging company to do so.

SASB standards are recognized as best-in-class, enabling businesses around the world to offer greater transparency and improve risk management.

This view is shared by the investor community, which has embraced the SASB standard as a means to allow informed decision making on sustainable investing. By reporting against SASB’s Containers & Packaging standard, Amcor is leading the industry with regard to benchmarking and transparency to drive more sustainable performance.

Tracey Whitehead, Amcor Global Head of Investor Relations, said: “We are proud to have adhered to SASB standards, an important benchmark for transparent reporting and one we know will help our stakeholders better understand Amcor’s commitment to managing ESG risks and improving outcomes for our business, customers and shareholders. As a global leader in packaging, we recognize that enhancing transparency and accountability enables better, evidenced-based progress against company and industry goals.”

In addition to reporting against SASB standards, Amcor is leading the packaging industry in adopting multiple other initiatives including:
• Reporting sustainability metrics in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards: Core option for the last nine years;
• Reporting annually through the CDP’s global disclosure system for assessments on Climate Change, Water Security, and Forests;
• As a signatory of the Ellen Macarthur Foundation’s Global Commitment, disclosing progress annually against key sustainability goals; and
• In 2020 joined WWF (World Wildlife Fund) ReSource, which provides a best practice measurement framework to help quantify reductions in plastic waste.

An international audience of industry professionals got their first glimpse of the varied new range at the Fachpack trade fair in Nuremberg at the end of September.One of the highlights was the innovative FlexPaper pure, which is made using an extrusion lamination process and renewable, FSC-certified pulp from sustainable forestry. FlexPaper pure packaging is an eye-catcher at every point of sale thanks to the outstanding properties of the specialty paper, which lead to optimum flexographic and gravure printing results. But that’s not the only reason it is already causing such a stir – thanks its high total paper content of 95 percent, Felix Schoeller’s new packaging solution can be disposed of easily with the waste paper once it has been used. This has been confirmed in an independent packaging analysis using the “Made for Recycling” test method, which concluded that FlexPaper “recycles well”.
