Material Topics & SDG Goals
Materiality has been repeatedly proposed by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and by other international standards as a starting point for bringing reporting closer to stakeholder expectations.
Our ESG Priorities
In 2023, we conducted a thorough evaluation to determine the ESG priorities most critical to our future business endeavors. We prioritized our 12 material topics, ranking them from the most to the least significant, taking into account their potential impacts on people, the environment, and the economy.
This process involved engaging both external and internal stakeholders, including customers, supplier partners, and company employees. The insights gained from this evaluation help ensure that our ESG strategy remains aligned with our long-term business objectives and contributes positively to responsible packaging.
