The president of Amcor Flexibles Asia Pacific is leaving the company to pursue other opportunities after less than two years in the role.
Roelof Westerbeek (pictured below) joined the packaging company in March 2016, shifting from his position of executive vice-president of DSM in Singapore.
Effective immediately, Amcor's chief commercial officer Michael Zacka will assume Westerbeek's role of president of Amcor Flexibles Asia Pacific, in addition to his current responsibilities.
Zacka joined Amcor in July 2017, having worked with Tetra Pak for 20 years, leading businesses globally as head of South Asia, East Asia, and Oceania.
Zacka has significant experience in food and beverage packaging, especially throughout the Asian region.
In other news, Amcor was given an award from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) this month.
CDP, a not-for-profit organisation that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, states and regions to manage environmental impacts, awarded Amcor ‘best performance across programs’.
“The CDP award acknowledges Amcor’s effectiveness in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and water use, and protecting the environment across our 200 sites worldwide,” David Clark, vice president of sustainability, said.
CDP scores companies based on reported action to address greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions, and reduce impact on forests and water.
