Sustainability efforts rewarded
Lucas Lammers, CEO: “Our daily operations and packaging solutions have a direct impact on the environment and on individuals and communities around the world: from creating quality jobs, to protecting, preserving and safely transporting all sorts of products. Quality packaging protects the environmental and economic investment in products, and contributes to economic development and social wellbeing, by facilitating distribution and delivery to the market place. We believe quality and sustainability are inextricably linked: a quality product can only be a quality product when produced in an environment that respects people and the planet.
It is great to see that our efforts are being recognised by high ranking institutions such as EcoVadis. This Platinum rating truly is a reward for the vision and efforts we have shown in the field of CSR worldwide and complements our extensive portfolio of certificates and standards. Since our last evaluation, we have increased our overall score thanks to the implementation of extra initiatives, such as the publication of very first GRI Report.”
