Targets and Goals
We’re setting clear sustainability targets under each of our three pillars and holding ourselves accountable for achieving them, measuring our progress along the way.
We don’t have all the answers yet and that’s okay. Our track record is strong, and we're on a solid path forward. We’re focused on building the future of our customers, of our suppliers, our partners and importantly the communities we’re part of with our goals and commitments.

Eco targets
We also continue to reduce the environmental impact of our operations by working towards our Eco Targets. Orora launched a new set of five-year Eco Targets in 2020 to run until 2024.
-

The Eco Targets* are designed to address Orora’s obligations under the United Nation’s Global Compact (UNGC) to support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges, undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility and encourage the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies.
Our Eco Targets aim to address Orora’s main environmental impacts by reducing CO2e (greenhouse gas emissions), water use and waste to landfill. We aim to achieve a 5% reduction on a ratio basis across each of these important areas.
*Eco Targets are measured as ratios against production related metrics, an approach that is aligned to meet stakeholders’ evolving expectations for how companies report on environmental performance. It also ensures that our metrics are focused on the specific attributes and reflect the primary activity of each of our businesses, giving them greater scope for effective management. These metrics are divided into production of packaging, measured against tonnes produced, and distribution of packaging, which adheres to floor space square metres.
