At the 2022 Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) Annual Awards, CHEP Australia’s sustainability efforts were recognised, with the company taking out the Logistics and Warehousing Industry Sector Award for the fifth consecutive year.
The Logistics and Warehousing Award is one of 12 Industry Sector Awards, and it celebrates the highest performing APCO member in each major industry sector, and is assessed based on members’ Annual Reporting scores and their performance against the Packaging Sustainability Framework criteria.
“Congratulations to all our Industry Sector Award winners – it’s fantastic to see the work our members have made to implement and develop sustainable solutions to packaging recycling and design,” said Chris Foley, APCO’s CEO.
“Each winner has showcased an incredible commitment to meeting the 2025 National Packaging Targets, and it’s wonderful to see the progress we have made over the past year.”
Lis Mannes, executive general manager for CHEP Australia, is delighted that the company has won this prestigious award, and thanks APCO for recognising both its contribution to the circular economy, and its commitment to delivering the 2025 National Packaging Targets.
“CHEP is working to help create a nature-positive economy with reuse, resilience and regeneration at its core,” Mannes said.
“We’re setting the ambition to pioneer truly regenerative supply chains. In other words, putting back in more than we take from the world.
“By reaching zero impact and beyond, we’ll be delivering the supply chains needed for the future. Our people want to make positive change through their work, which fuels their enthusiasm to continually strive for better results.”
