At Orora, sustainability is fundamental to everything we do.
A large part of our business is based on working towards the principles of a circular economy. This means ensuring the main packaging types we make - namely, fibre, glass and aluminium - are recyclable and contain recycled content.
Our approach to sustainability is founded on the Orora Way and our values of Teamwork, Passion, Respect, and Integrity. Guided by the Orora Way and our commitment to the United Nations Global Compact’s Ten Principles on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption, we focus on People, Planet & Prosperity to achieve shared benefits for the communities and environments in which we operate, our vendors, customers and operations.
The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is a principles-based framework encouraging businesses to integrate its ten principles into their strategy and day-to-day operations. Orora joined the UNGC in 2016 and is committed to continuously improving its operations to meet the Ten Principles. Orora is committed to reporting its progress against the UNGC Ten Principles each year.
We continually re-examine the broader sustainability landscape to identify emerging sustainability risks and opportunities.
