Enabling supply chain circularity

Spreading the word about EPG’s new purpose
“Enabling supply chain circularity” is our purpose. It was crafted in 2022 through bottom-up involvement, ensuring alignment and authenticity across our organisation.
After determining our new purpose and value proposition, we organised interactive roadshows throughout to hear our employees’ experiences first-hand.
The 14 roadshows, including talk show and workshops, were set up to raise awareness about the new purpose, interact with our co-workers, and inform them about the new campaign. Employees presented their local sustainability initiatives and they discussed how the new purpose and brand campaign could help them locally.
Their input has been invaluable and will help us fully embed our new purpose on local and group level.
Further reducing our CO2 emissions
Back in 2017, we set ourselves the target of reducing our carbon footprint by 20% by 2025. Since then, we’ve implemented several improvement projects, bringing us closer to reaching our goal.
A few of those initiatives are: reducing the amount of water used in our washing process, using a higher percentage of recycled plastic in the production of our trays, optimising transport flows and creating more awareness about climate change among our colleagues.
Read about those initiatives – and many more – in the new report.
