AICC Offers Voice Of The Customer

Flexo Market News

AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, has partnered with OTB Solutions, to bring ac- tionable insights to member companies about why their customers buy from them, which customers are getting ready to defect, and much more. Each company has ideas and anecdotal evidence about its customers. But, fact-based evidence about why customers buy and why they give the share of wallet they do to each company is invaluable infor- mation that will help a company grow. AICC members can receive a special rate for the Voice of the Customer research from OTB Solutions. Based on conversations OTB has with a participat- ing member’s customers, the one-on-one research will help leaders answer the questions they need to design buyer-centric go-to-market plans. In other news, AICC is offering members the op- portunity participate in two plant tours during the Packaging Xperience, March 1-3, in Kansas City, Missouri. The Xperience Conference will provide members the opportunity to tour two plants: Lawrence Paper Company, in Larence, Kansas and Arrowhead Con- tainers, Inc. in Kansas City, Missouri. Sun Chemical Releases Annual Sustainability Report Sun Chemical released the latest edition of its Corporate Sustainability Report, which focuses on the organization’s commitment to a sustainability strategy comprised of three key pillars: operations, products and services, and collaborations. Sustainable Strategy As part of its sustainability strategy, Sun Chemical organized a Corporate Sustainability Committee in August 2020 comprised of eight executive leaders, designed to guarantee company-wide engagement in sustainability initiatives and oversee the sustain- ability strategy. Under this committee, Sun Chemi- cal has built a sustainable framework to guide fu- ture roadmaps in each of the strategy’s three pillars, which are referred to as the ‘five Rs’: Reuse, Reduce, Renew, Recycle and Redesign. This framework supports a circular economy and reductions in carbon footprint, which can be applied from either an operational or product-oriented point of view. Each of these steps has enabled the com- pany to align its sustainability goals with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
