Amcor has been recognised with an AA rating by MSCI ESG Research for its strong sustainability performance.

The rating underscores Amcor’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) leadership, and highlights its progress in advancing more sustainable packaging solutions.

Amcor’s AA rating highlights the company’s ongoing efforts to expand the use of recycled content in its products, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and increase clean energy procurement.

The company’s focus on circular economy solutions is a key pillar of its sustainability strategy, driving innovation to reduce environmental impact and enhance recyclability at a global scale.

“We are proud that MSCI continues to recognise Amcor’s commitment to responsible packaging, and we celebrate this achievement,” said David Clark, chief sustainability officer at Amcor.

“This rating is a testament to our dedication to delivering superior packaging solutions that meet consumer expectations, customer needs, and the highest standards of efficiency and safety.

“Amcor is focused on advancing our sustainability journey and collaborating with our value chain partners to help shape a society where responsible consumption and circularity are the norm.”

MSCI ESG Research provides ratings on global public and select private companies, assessing their exposure to industry-specific ESG risks and ability to manage those risks relative to peers.
