Sustainability report - Appendix
Appendix
Amcor’s 2020 Sustainability Report has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards: Core option and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Containers and Packaging Sustainability Accounting Standard version 2018-10.
This is the ninth year we have reported in accordance with GRI and the first year we are reporting using the SASB Standards.
We release a Sustainability Report annually. Our most recent report was released in November 2019. All previous Sustainability Reports may be accessed at https://www.amcor.com/sustainability/reports.
Scope of information: Unless otherwise specified, the disclosures in this 2020 Sustainability Report cover Amcor plc operations from 1 July 2019 – 30 June 2020 in the following countries/territories: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Trinidad & Tobago, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, and Venezuela.
Restatements of information: Each year, we adjust our baseline year data for GHG emissions, waste-to- disposal, and water use to include acquired sites. If the acquired site is able to provide data back to the FY19 baseline year for energy use, waste generated, raw material consumption, and water usage, this data is added to our environmental database. If acquired sites do not have existing data when integration begins, we wait until we have 12 months of data before the sites are integrated into our reporting. We use these 12 months of data to estimate historical data back to our FY19 baseline year. Due to the 2019 acquisition of Bemis and subsequent formation of Amcor plc, the size of our operational footprint has significantly increased. As a result, and in accordance with the GHG Protocols, we have restated our FY19 baseline year according to our new footprint. For this reason, the FY19 data disclosed in this report may be different from the FY19 data previously disclosed.
Assurance: Selected data has been assured by Ernst and Young (EY) as indicated in the GRI and SASB Content Index. See the final page of this Report for the Assurance Statement.
