Sustainability
Packaging is a fundamental component of supply chains, providing benefits such as product protection, consumer information, safe and convenient handling, and product marketing. It makes a valuable contribution to sustainability by protecting the product, preventing product spoilage or breakage, preserving the resources invested in the product and ensuring it reaches the end user fit for its intended purpose.
Sustainability drives our research, our innovations, our supply chain, and our operations. Sustainability is fundamental to everything we do. In a world of diminishing resources, climate change risks and increasing attention on business ethics and accountability, a focus on the planet, community & prosperity gives us an operating framework that will ensure we capitalize on the opportunities created by the challenges of an ever-changing global environment.
Everyday we consider the legacy we want to leave behind. For BELLWYCK, running a sustainable business means an opportunity to improve our operations by managing the impacts we have on the communities and environment we operate within while creating value for our customers.
