WINNIPEG, MB, Jan. 24,
2023 /CNW/ - Winpak Ltd. ("Winpak" or the "Company")
proudly announces its ongoing commitment to environmental
transparency by disclosing its environmental impact through CDP, a
global non-profit that runs the world's leading environmental
disclosure platform. Winpak has disclosed through CDP since 2018
and responded to the detailed climate change questionnaire.
Disclosing data around environmental impact is now a business
standard. By disclosing through CDP, Winpak is prepared to respond
to the increasing demand for environmental transparency from
employees, customers, consumers, investors, and policymakers within
the regions it operates.
"We are extremely proud to receive an outstanding score of A- in
our 2022 CDP filing", states Phillip
Crowder, Director, Corporate Sustainability. "One of
Winpak's core values is to make decisions today that positively
impact the world in the future. Our latest CDP score reflects
Winpak's adherence to this value and highlights the tangible steps
our dedicated employees are taking to minimize the environmental
impact of our business operations".
Dexter Galvin, Global Director of
Corporations and Supply Chains at CDP, commented, "Another year of
extreme weather, including floods, droughts and record
temperatures, has shown us that climate change is already posing a
real and increasing risk to companies and their supply chains.
Companies have a fundamental role to play in securing a sustainable
net-zero, deforestation-free and water-secure world. It is only
through measuring their environmental impact, risks and
opportunities that they can manage them and prepare for the future.
By disclosing through CDP, Winpak has taken a vital first step. I
look forward to their continued dedication to transparency and
action for the benefit of all people and planet."
