Our Memberships
Working together for more sustainability
We know that we can solve the major challenges we face only by working together. We are therefore a member of organizations in which companies, NGOs, financial institutions and other stakeholders along the entire value chain work to make our economy more sustainable.
The Alliance to End Plastic Waste has more than 90 member companies, supporters and alliance partners along the entire plastics value chain. All members are committed to proactively combating the plastic waste problem, and we have joined their efforts in 2020.
The Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty was founded in September 2022, and we have been a member ever since. Together with more than 150 members, financial institutions and NGOs along the entire value chain, it supports the vision of a circular economy in which plastic never becomes waste and the value of products and materials in the economy is preserved.
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an international organization with the goal of accelerating the transition to a circular economy. The members develop and promote the various aspects of a functioning circular economy in order to jointly tackle the greatest challenges of our time, such as climate change and the loss of biodiversity, in the long term.
The members of the Packaging with a Future platform are working together to bring together existing solutions for challenges in the packaging sector to create a holistic solution. The entire environmental footprint of each packaging material plays the central role in the considerations. Together with ALPLA, we launched the Packaging with a Future platform in 2019.
The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) offers companies with science-based targets a clearly path to reducing emissions in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. In 2023, our Science-Based Targets were confirmed by the independent, external initiative. This makes us one of more than 4,500 companies worldwide with detailed climate protection targets.
In 2020 we decided to join the UN Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest and most important initiative for responsible corporate governance. The aim of the worldwide movement from business, politics and civil society is to make globalization more social and ecological, and thus contribute to an inclusive and sustainable global economy. As a signatory to the UN Global Compact, we are committed to its ten principles in the areas of human rights, labor standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption and actively contribute to promoting and complying with them.
