2. We will partner to innovate in reducing, reusing and recycling secondary packaging.

SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS

Our teams work closely with customers to co-develop quantitative targets, roadmaps and KPIs that drive measurable impact. These efforts include piloting projects aligned to customer interest areas and sustainability goals. We continue to examine:

• Use of low-carbon aluminum and bio-derived plastics
• Conducting Life Cycle Assessments
• Driving emissions insights down to the product level
• Developing new product materials with improved sustainability profiles
• Designing and implementing product take-back programs

PACKAGING IMPROVEMENTS

We are also advancing innovation in secondary packaging:

• Bio-derived polybags and alternative corrugated materials
• The elimination of single-use packaging
• Building robust recycling outlets

NEXT STEPS

 We are establishing additional data processes and controls that align with our goals and customer expectations, supporting regulatory compliance
while enabling deeper access to information about our products, materials and emissions.
