Avery Dennison has announced its ambition to be net-zero on greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This commitment comes as the company raises the bar on its sustainability goals with new targets for 2030. As part of these new targets, the Label and Graphic Materials (LGM) business commits to 100 percent of its core film and paper product categories globally containing recycled or renewable content. And all of its regions will also have labels that enable the circularity of plastics.
In addition, the company’s 2030 ambitions include procuring paper exclusively from responsibly-managed forests to help ensure a deforestation-free future. LGM will continue to invest in industry collaborations like CELAB to promote and deliver matrix and liner recycling globally, and the company will engage with the majority of its direct suppliers on their environmental and social practices affecting water, human rights, fair business, forestry, and similar important interests.
