Shaping our sustainability agenda to accelerate the possible

The combination of Amcor and Berry Global has created a global leader in consumer and healthcare packaging. Sustainability is a core value for the new, larger company, and we are committed to seizing the opportunity to act today.

We embrace the critical role we can play in anticipating stakeholder demands and being proactive to accelerate what is possible when it comes to packaging and sustainability. By leveraging our increased scale, investment capacity and unrivalled expertise, we will transform how the world sees and uses packaging.

The strong sustainability programs of both legacy companies provide a solid foundation to build on, and we are already taking decisive action, including:

• Reducing the environmental impact of our own operations
• Reconfirming our near-term and net zero emission targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative
• Increasing the use of renewable electricity across our operations and supply chain
• Driving across our operations more efficient water use, lower production waste and eliminating plastic pellet loss
• Ensuring responsible sourcing and supporting local communities where we operate
• Reducing the environmental impact of our products
• Deploying $180 million of annual R&D investment on industry-leading initiatives, allowing us to continue developing even better products that drive circularity and decarbonization without compromising functionality and convenience for consumers
• Continuing the elimination of problematic materials in our solutions
• Commercializing more recyclable, reusable and compostable products
• Investing to advance and achieve packaging circularity
• Increasing our use of recycled materials, with more sustainable and traceable options that reduce waste and carbon footprint relative to virgin materials
• Expanding the scale of our recycling projects and partnerships
• Increasing our advocacy and collaboration with regulators, supporting good legal frameworks and funding for the development of efficient markets that enable packaging circularity
As the true industry leader with enhanced financial and people capacity, we will build capabilities to drive sustainability with good economic stewardship — protecting the future while meeting our business commitments. We will use the best options available today, while we work with our partners to develop even better materials and better products for our customers and for consumers. We will think big and think ahead and we’ll be clear about we are headed, what we have achieved and where we need to do better.

We are excited about Amcor’s opportunity to create a better future in a way that no other packaging company can. We look forward to sharing more about what’s to come in our 2025 sustainability report, available later this year.
