Sustainable Graphics Solutions - APAC Vision & Goals

Our Vision: A Sustainable Future for All

At Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions APAC, sustainability is not just a goal; it's ingrained in every facet of our operations. Our vision and goals are intricately aligned with the Avery Dennison 2030 corporate sustainability goals as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They are a testament to our commitment to making a meaningful impact on our world. We recognise that these goals are not just ambitions; they are a roadmap for creating a more sustainable future for our business, our stakeholders, and the planet we all share.

 

Our Goals: Paving the Path to Sustainability

Goal 1: Deliver Innovations that reduce carbon footprint and advance the Circular Economy

At the heart of our commitment lies the drive to reduce the carbon footprint of both our operations as well as that of our customers. We are dedicated to this goal by concentrating our efforts on products within the Sustainable Advantage Portfolio, mainly focusing on PVC-free films and Solvent-free adhesive platforms. These advancements embody our dedication to reducing environmental impact while maintaining excellence in performance.

Our pursuit of Goal 1 also extends to fostering strategic investments and industry-wide collaborations that provide essential recycling outlets. By doing so, we are propelling the entire industry towards a more sustainable future.

Goal 2: Reducing Our Environmental Impact through Responsible Sourcing

We understand that responsible sourcing is paramount to environmental stewardship. In our journey towards this goal, we are committed to incorporating paper liners from certified sources for a deforestation-free future. Our dedication doesn't stop there – we are actively working to incorporate packaging materials with recycled content and from certified sources, ensuring that every aspect of our products resonates with our sustainable values.

Furthermore, we are engaging all our suppliers within the APAC GS network and facilitating conversations around their ESG policies. We are focused on waste management, water usage, human rights, business ethics, and responsible sourcing, creating a network of partners that share our commitment to sustainability.

Goal 3: Make a positive impact by enhancing the livelihood of our people and communities

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our products and operations – it embraces our people and the communities we touch. To achieve this goal, we are fostering a culture of sustainability by instituting annual sustainability training and communication calendars. By empowering our employees with knowledge, we are cultivating a workforce that is not only skilled but also deeply connected to our sustainable vision.

As part of our efforts to make a meaningful impact, we are steadfastly working towards improving our Diversity ratio and Employee Engagement ratio. We believe that a diverse and engaged workforce is essential for driving innovation and nurturing a sustainable culture.

Additionally, we are actively involving our employees in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities within local communities. By actively participating in initiatives that uplift and benefit communities, we are living our commitment to positive change.
