We track this through our global EnviroAction program which delivers real and tangible environmental and social benefits. Since the start of Amcor's five year EnviroAction plan in 2010/11, the Company has reduced green house gas emission intensity by 19%; waste to landfill intensity by 53%; and water use intensity by 16%. In addition, last year over 40 of our sites reported zero waste to landfill and all 180 sites reduced their waste contributing to a more sustainable environment." concluded Mr Clark.
