HH Global Releases Sustainability Report and Targets

We are pleased to announce the release of our annual sustainability report, detailing our updated sustainability strategy including Science Based Targets, achievements, and alignment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The ‘Innovation with Purpose’ report can be viewed here and illustrates how we have made significant progress across our sustainability programme. Initiatives rolled-out over the last year include new and improved Environmental Calculator technology, our first Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) submission and various sustainable solutions delivered via our ecosystem of suppliers.

Robert MacMillan, HH Global CEO, said: “I’m proud of the progress we have made over the last year through our Innovation with Purpose programme. Following our strategic acquisition of InnerWorkings, our business now purchases more materials on behalf of the world’s leading brands than ever before, and we have a responsibility to ensure our clients understand how and where we can help.”

Kevin Dunckley, HH Global Chief Digital and Innovation Officer, explained: “We are in a unique position – to not only advise and influence our clients’ marketing behaviour, but to then deliver on this advice and make it real. As a sustainability advocate, we see it as our duty to drive sustainable change wherever we can. The report helps to explain how we’ve helped our clients and where we will be investing our time and effort in the future.”

We were also recently awarded EcoVadis Gold for the third successive year, in recognition of sustainability achievements.

FSC Now Only Forest Certification Recommended for Federal Procurement

Asia Pulp and Paper Says Its Words About Sustainability Are Backed by Action

Indonesia-based Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) does not always score the most favorable press. Many publications, including TriplePundit, have cast everything from a watchful eye to scathing criticism of the company’s alleged environmental practices — or malpractices. Many NGOs, including Greenpeace, have long accused APP of dodgy deforestation throughout its Southeast Asia operations and have described the company’s words of promise as “greenwashing.” But the evidence suggests that APP, which ranks among the world’s largest pulp and paper companies and one that is important to many companies’ supply chains, is beginning to listen after a decade of withering exposes and censure from the international media. The company’s most recent sustainability report that covered its operations in China claims it has launched a bevy of environmental and social responsibility programs. They include a $140 million investment in environmental protection in 2014, which the company says has boosted its overall spending on such programs to a total of $1.4 billion. Another $5.3 million of the company’s funds have been devoted to education and community development programs.
