ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Report

ESG in Packaging

Packaging executives have a choice: let ESG run them out of business or use it as an opportunity to become tomorrow's leader.

Both regulators and non-governmental initiatives are progressing the packaging sector towards a circular economy. This means gradually decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources and designing waste out of the system. Circular economy regulations have been around for decades and are gathering significant momentum.

According to a GlobalData survey, environmentally friendly packaging material was a key driver of purchase for 34% of respondents, 44% stated that it was nice to have but not essential, and 22% indicated that it did not affect their purchasing behavior.

In the wake of COVID-19, corporate boards need to ensure their company performs financially while ensuring ESG remains top of the agenda.
