Packaging solutions for better
Striving for better
Striving for better inspires us to work in partnership with our customers to bring food products to consumers around the world in a safe, sustainable, and affordable way.
Independent life-cycle assessments show our carton, bag-in-box, and spouted pouch solutions offer significant reductions in environmental impacts compared with other types of packaging, such as glass, plastic tubs and bottles, or cans.1 Choosing our solutions helps customers respond to rising consumer expectations, comply with increasingly stringent regulations, and achieve their sustainability ambitions.
We strive to make our packs even more sustainable through innovation. Across our portfolio, we are innovating to design more recycle-ready2 packs that optimize material use, and to replace virgin fossil-based polymers with renewable or recycled alternatives.
We are also creating new solutions to further reduce the resources needed to fill our packs in customers’ factories.
1 For a wide range of food and beverages, based on independent critically reviewed life-cycle assessments for beverage cartons conducted in line with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards, and on preliminary results of our life-cycle analysis of bag-in-box and spouted pouch solutions (an independent, critically reviewed life-cycle assessment for these solutions is in progress).

Our sustainability approach is our roadmap for better
Our sustainability commitments are integral to our business strategy, our Corporate Compass. They represent how we will give back more than we take. To have a net-positive impact on people and the planet. To create lasting change.
To great
- Remove more carbon from the atmosphere than is emitted during the pack's lifecycle
- Be made from endlessly renewable or recycled materials
- Bring safe, healthy nutrition to everyone
- Be easily recyclable - anywhere in the world
