Avery Dennison To Cut Carbon Emmissions Avery Dennison announced its ambition to be net-zero on greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This commitment comes as the company raises the bar on its sustainability goals with new targets for 2030. As part of these new targets, the Label and Graphic Mate- rials (LGM) business commits to 100 percent of its core film and paper product categories globally containing recycled or renewable content. And all of its regions will also have labels that enable the circularity of plastics. This will en- sure that Avery Dennison is well-positioned to satisfy cur- rent or future recycling, composting or reuse requirements for single-use consumer plastic packaging. The company is also expanding its portfolio to include more intelligent la- beling to advance the communication of data, reduce costs and waste, and create better recycling processes. The specific 2030 targets fall under three broad sustain- ability goals: deliver innovations that advance the circular economy; reduce environmental impact in operations and supply chain; and make a positive social impact by improv- ing the livelihoods of people and communities. In addition, the company’s 2030 ambitions include pro- curing paper exclusively from responsibly-managed for- ests to help ensure a deforestation-free future. LGM will continue to invest in industry collaborations like CELAB to promote and deliver matrix and liner recycling globally, and the company will engage with the majority of its di- rect suppliers on their environmental and social practices affecting water, human rights, fair business, forestry, and similar important interests. The company has also pledged to reduce emissions by 70 percent against its 2015 baseline, and to work with its supply chain to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 30 percent against its 2018 baseline. The company’s overall ambition is to produce net-zero emissions by 2050 and enable a fu- ture of regeneration. The 2030 goals also include targets for gender diversity, employee engagement and inclusion, safety, and more.
