It’s interesting to hear that OPM (Labels and Packaging) Group has signed up to the United Nations Global Compact to support its customers’ sustainability strategies. On announcing the move earlier this week, OPM MD Chris said: “As supply partners to a wide range of brands and retailers we recognise the intense pressure that our customers are under to improve their sustainability performance. That’s not just about producing packaging from ‘greener’ materials but ensuring supply partners are engaged and driving forward on all environmental, social and governance matters. By working with the United Nations we have a clear strategy and mission in place.” Wonder if anyone in the wide-format sector can see themselves taking things this far?
