Association Partners To Provide Expertise At PACK EXPO 2021 UK and Atlanta, Georgia based DS Smith announced last week that it has embedded its pioneering Circular Design Metrics across all its packaging sites to support the tran- sition to a circular economy and help customers achieve their ESG goals, furthering its commitment to meeting cus- tomer needs as the corporate world embraces ESG and works to set and meet targets that reduce environmental impacts. ESG the abbreviation of Environmental, Social and Governance, are the three pillars of performance by which a business or country’s impact on society, and its effect on environmental sustainability, can be evaluated. By under- standing a company’s strategy and performance in each area, stakeholders — from investors and employees to consumers and governments — can decide how they in- teract with that organization.

Corporations around the world are working to create and implement ESG plans that meet the demands of all stakeholders, and CEOs specifically are facing increased pressures to meet those goals. According to a recent KPMG survey of 1,325 chief executives, 58 percent are “seeing increased demands from stakeholders — such as investors, regulators and customers — for increased re- porting and transparency on ESG issues.” Much of the challenge for business stems from the ability to capture data and transparently report on activity against these goals. In an industry first, DS Smith can now measure and quantify the sustainability performance of each of its packaging designs across eight key indicators: carbon footprint, design for reuse, supply chain optimiza- tion, recyclability, planet safety, material utilization, renew- able source and recycled content. DS Smith is reportedly the only packaging producer to offer this unique tool which gives its customers across a wide range of sectors such as FMCG, industrial, retail and e-commerce a clear view of their packaging designs’ cir- cularity performance. As more than 80 percent of a product’s environmen- tal impact is made at the design stage, data from Circular
ics are preferred. WPR SERVICES www.wprservices.net
