Working together to build a more sustainable future

Establishing plan of action to address the shared challenges of sustainability was one of the aim of the University of Northampton Sustainability Summit attended by Leyland Packaging.

More than 150 delegates from over 40 organisations attended to identify their shared sustainability challenges and establish an action plan to address these through collaborative research, enterprise and knowledge exchange. Leyland Packaging, along with the other attending stakeholders, have committed to being part of the solution to improving sustainability across the county, and to monitor their progress in pursuing shared sustainability goals.

Leyland packaging managing director Mark Bates said: “Sustainability is a vital consideration for any business, especially those of us in the packaging industry. However, it is important that we do not silo ourselves into thinking this is just about materials. Sustainability is a global issue and an event like this is an excellent opportunity for us to work collaboratively with other local organisations.

“We are committed to improving our sustainability through our own business practices and the products we supply, as well as having the knowledge and expertise to guide our customers to become more sustainable. We are looking forward to attending future summits.”
