“ We recognise the principle that ESGs shouldn ’ t be a later addition to circularity efforts , but are far more effective when baked into the process from the very outset ”

RANGA MULABAGULA GLOBAL VP OF PROCUREMENT , AMCOR
It is worth noting that Amcor ' s focus on ESG aligns with broader trends in the corporate world . Many companies are increasingly recognising the importance of addressing ESG concerns not only for ethical reasons , but also for the potential financial benefits .
Now , it ’ s widely recognised that addressing ESG concerns can help companies reduce costs , mitigate risks , and improve their reputations – among other benefits .
Amcor ' s approach in addressing ESG concerns across all three scopes is also notable . Scope 3 emissions in particular , are often overlooked by companies but can be a significant source of emissions and environmental impact . By addressing greenhouse gas emissions in its value chain , Amcor is taking a more holistic approach to ESG , which should help the company achieve its sustainability goals more effectively .
