In a statement, Tracey Whitehead, Amcor's global head of investor relations, expressed how meaningful this recognition is for the company, particularly since it takes place in Australia, where Amcor was established 165 years ago.

Ranked in the top 12% of the industry, Amcor has demonstrated its ongoing innovation and commitment to sustainable development. The DJSI, which debuted in 1999, consists of several global sustainability benchmarks that evaluate companies based on their ESG efforts. These indices are float-adjusted and market-capitalization-weighted, allowing stakeholders to understand how well businesses perform in terms of sustainability.

Amcor's participation in the DJSI reflects its strategy of fostering a circular economy where sustainable consumption and recycling are the norms. The company has invested significantly in its sustainability efforts, developing packaging that is increasingly recyclable, reusable, and made from recycled materials.

In recent years, Amcor has taken steps to revolutionize product design and drive innovative changes across a broad range of materials. By partnering with various stakeholders throughout the supply chain, Amcor aims to improve the sustainability of packaging solutions available to consumers and companies alike.

For example, their products cater to diverse sectors including food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, home care, and personal care. Amcor works closely with leading global companies, helping to protect valuable products while also enhancing brand differentiation.

In fiscal 2024, Amcor saw substantial financial success with operational sales reaching $13.6 billion backed by a dedicated team of 41,000 employees operating across 212 locations in 40 countries. Amcor plans to continue leading the charge in responsible packaging, targeting greater sustainability in all aspects of its operations.

Looking ahead, the company remains vigilant in pursuing projects that foster eco-friendly practices, ensuring they contribute positively to both the environment and their stakeholders. Their vision is supported by ongoing research and development into new packaging solutions that meet the needs of a modern society while prioritizing sustainability.
