Our Commitments
Taking real steps to reduce our environmental impact.
It’s easy to talk about sustainability, but we’re commited to taking action to achive the following goals through 2020:
- Reduce normalised global energy usage by 1% annually, which we believe will result in a further 1% reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) or reducing GHG emissions by 5% through 2020.
- Reduce normalized water usage by 5% through 2020.
- Achieve Sonoco Sustainability Star award status at an additional 10% of the Company’s operations by significantly diverting landfill wastes. Also, continue working with our customers to demonstrate total landfill diversion from their operations in North America and Europe.
- Demonstrate further improvement in employee safety, diversity and engagement.
