SICPA’s Pushes Forward with Sustainability

SICPA recently issued its 2023 Sustainability Report. Given that it issued its first Corporate Social Responsibility report in 2013, adopted United Nation (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in 2019, and in 2022 committed to getting to net zero emissions by 2050 (and to be carbon neutral by 2035), what is new in this report?

What is not new is its explanation of its systematic approach across the whole spectrum of Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) activities – its materiality assessment which has fed through to its adoption of eight of the UN SDGs. Its use of key standards such as the Green House Gas Protocol for carbon accounting and the Global Reporting Initiative standards for what it measures and how it reports them. All this has driven what it has done and how it reports that in a comparable, standardised way.
