Sustainability.

Making efficient use of natural resources.

Our products are highly dependent on the natural world around us, and as a global business it is our responsibility to help address climate change. We do this by striving to use fewer natural resources and being efficient in our use of energy and water, while reducing our waste.

Operating in a resource-efficient way helps us increase food production while minimizing our environmental impact.

Accelerating the development of recycling infrastructure.

We have been focusing on increasing our use of responsible packaging materials, but this is only one part of the systemic change that is needed. To create a circular economy, the infrastructure to collect, sort, and recycle packaging also needs to be in place. This is often lacking for flexible plastic packaging which is a challenge to recycle as it can clog up machinery. Dedicated recycling infrastructure for flexible plastic packaging is needed to ensure packaging that is designed to be recyclable doesn’t end up in landfill.

This is a global challenge, and collaboration is essential to solving it. All players in the system, from governments to consumer goods companies to waste management and recycling companies must work together to accelerate the development of this infrastructure. We are actively seeking opportunities to work with partners on initiatives that will help to improve recycling rates. We have two pilot projects in the pipeline, one with the CGF in Colorado and another in Ottawa. Our aim is to share what we learn from projects like these with other cities, countries, and regions.
