I NTERNET D IRECTORY
Avery Dennison has been recognized by edie, an in- formation resource for sustainability-oriented compa- nies, as a finalist in the 2018 Sustainability Leaders Awards.Avery Dennison was named in the Employee Engagement and Behavioral Change category for Sus- tainable September, its annual sustainability employ- ee engagement campaign. “We reach out to employees to encourage sustain- ability year-round,” explained Amy White, Vice Presi- dent, Communications at Avery Dennison Label and Graphic Materials. This year’s campaign theme,“Together We Can”, fo- cused on moving from individual to collective action. The theme was a natural progression from “Change Begins with Me,” the theme in 2016, which under- scored the idea that sustainability depends on the contribution of every individual. As a result of the campaign, 81 percent of employees reported having a better understanding of the company’s sustainabili- ty goals, and 84 percent said they planned to take ac- tion to operate more sustainably at work, at home, or in their community. In 2015, Avery Dennison announced eight sustain- ability goals it intends to reach by 2025, including at least a 3 percent absolute reduction in greenhouse gasses year over year; sourcing 100 percent certified- claim paper, of which 70 percent will be Forest Stew- ardship Council–certified; and becoming 95 percent landfill-free, with at least 75 percent of waste reused, repurposed or recycled and eliminating 70 percent of matrix and liner as waste from the value chain.
