Packaging School & AICC on Moving Beyond Good Intentions in Packaging Sustainability

Dr. Suggs and Alli Keigley reflect on the rise of packaging-related sustainability and ESG goals and how education is allowing packaging professionals to face the challenges head-on—highlighting a program we built for AICC members.

Our very own Dr. Suggs and Alli Keigley write in a feature of BoxScore by AICC.

Dr. Suggs states:

"More than likely, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts factor into your plans. In recent years, ESG goals have become an essential and expected part of business strategy and operational management. Maybe your company wants to set a goal along the lines of ensuring that 95% of your packaging will be produced from renewable, recycled, or recyclable sources by the year 2025—an incredible goal. But you may be at a loss as to how this is accomplished.
With that in mind, AICC and the Packaging School have crafted a sustainability program that enables member companies to develop internal champions who will transform sustainability intent into action. To begin a multifaceted program such as this, we plan to start with an overview of the key terminology a learner needs to speak the language of sustainability with colleagues and customers."
