White Paper Reveals Four Pillars To Sustainability Flint Group Packaging Inks has identified four strate- gic pillars key to successfully achieving its sustainabil- ity ambitions. Outlined in a new whitepaper, the four pillars set out a program of objectives and milestones that align with the company’s vision of realizing a truly circular economy within the packaging industry. The four pillars include Ethical Management, Re- duced Ecological Impact, Responsibly Built Products and Designing for Circularity. Setting out a clear framework for global compa- ny-wide development, the Ethical Management pillar incorporates a range of audits and standards that Flint Group Packaging Inks has implemented for both the company and its suppliers to adhere to. In addition, it details new policies which are needed and that address human rights, anti-discrimination, green engineering and waste management, as well as anti-corruption and equal opportunities practices. Reduced Ecological Impact includes a program of targets for the business to meet in relation to ener- gy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and landfill waste. It also outlines Flint

Group Packaging Inks’ commitment to achieving ISO14001, the international standard for an effective environmental management system.The XtraMile pro- gram, an initiative to help printers boost connectivity, reduce waste and drive operational efficiency, is also incorporated. The third pillar of Flint Group’s sustainability strate- gy, Responsibly Built Products, addresses the building blocks of ink formulation, regulatory compliance and the environmental impact associated with their use. The fourth strategic pillar addresses the design of inks and coatings for the circular economy in support of the development of fully recyclable packaging solu- tions with minimal waste creation. By working closely with the recycling industry, the company is develop- ing inks that are easier to recycle, including new wa- ter-based and lowVOC inks.
