How can we feed the world while protecting the planet?
The sustainability challenges we face on our planet are all interconnected, and together, contribute to climate change: By 2050, the global population is expected to grow by more than 25%1, increasing the demand for food. But food systems today account for more than one third of global GHG (greenhouse gas emissions)2, and still one third of all food produced is lost or wasted3.
As an industry, we need to work together across the value chain, and take collective actions that can help decarbonise and transform the world’s food systems, while contributing to circularity and increasing food packaging recycling.
Working together for systemic change
Nature-based solutions4 can play an important role in solving the world’s sustainability challenges, and paper-based carton packages already provide access to safe food for people everywhere. We’re on a journey to develop the world’s most sustainable food package which is fully renewable and fully recyclable and developing innovative food processing and packaging technologies and equipment to reduce water, energy and waste.
And everyday, we’re collaborating with customers, partners, governments, NGOs and consumers on activities that can drive real systemic change.

Our ambition is to lead the sustainability transformation within our industry. That means contributing to sustainable development and making a positive impact through our products, services and actions. Four clear priorities guide our activities:

5This means creating cartons that are fully made of renewable or recycled materials, that are responsibly sourced, therefore helping protect and restore our planet's climate, resources and biodiversity; contributing towards carbon-neutral production and distribution; are convenient and safe, therefore helping to enable a resilient food system; are fully recyclable
