Amcor Products and Social Responsibility

How Our Packaging Benefits the Community

Packaging is an essential component of our modern lifestyle – it provides benefits to the community by ensuring that contents are delivered in a clean and safe form, prevents spillage and spoilage, provides convenience for consumers, improves retail marketing, and enables ease of handling, warehousing and distribution.

As a global packaging manufacturer, Amcor acknowledges the impact of producing, using and disposing of its products. We are committed to managing our business in a responsible manner to address stakeholder expectations and concerns.

Various packaging codes around the world cover issues such as safe and economic use of materials, environmental effects of packaging and convenience for consumers. We work with our suppliers and customers to adhere to the requirements of these codes across our global operations.

Some of Amcor’s packaging is used to contain products, such as tobacco and alcohol, which some of our stakeholders may not be comfortable with. However, in meeting the demand for all our products, we acknowledge the freedom of product choice for adult consumers and recognise the legal rights of our customers.
