The first sustainability report from ink supplier Sun Chemical provides data-driven performance measurement for seven key sustainability metrics to help customers and consumers understand the company’s environmental footprint.
The report evaluates data collected since 2005 from approximately 170 Sun Chemical sites in more than 25 countries. The key sustainability metrics measured in the data include: energy consumption/conservation at production and non-production sites; the energy carbon footprint at the production sites; process waste reduction; water consumption, material safety; and employee safety.
“Our sustainability policy is different from other company policies and positioning because it is supported by data that goes far beyond that which is normally reported,” asserts Felipe Mellado, Sun’s vice-president and chief marketing officer. “Our customers want to know what their suppliers are doing to improve their sustainability performance. This report does just that with very specific metrics.”
The company has also initiated a project to analyse and manage the carbon footprint of its products. This is due to be released during the first half of 2010.
The sustainability report is available to customers and can be requested online. Customers in Europe and the USA can also calculate the initial carbon footprint for their facility operations by visiting the website.
