SIG receives recognition for lowering carbon footprint across packaging and operations in Thailand

"This recognition reflects SIG's commitment to contribute more to society and the environment that it takes. This year, we received carbon reduction certifications for 15 SIG aseptic carton packaging formats produced in our packaging plant in Rayong, Thailand, along with recognition for sustainable, low-carbon operational practices. These certificates will provide customers with verified data on SIG's packaging formats, enabling them to conduct lifecycle assessments and integrate more sustainable solutions into their supply chains." said Vatcharapong Ungsrisawasdi, Head of Market AreaThailand, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia at SIG.

Driving Carbon Reduction Across the Value Chain

• The Carbon Footprint of Product (CFP) certification measures a product's total greenhouse gas emissions from raw material sourcing to disposal in Thailand.
• The Carbon Footprint Reduction (CFR) certification verifies that the production emissions for the submitted packaging format have decreased compared to a previous baseline year, reflecting overall reductions in manufacturing emissions across all formats.
• The Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) certification evaluates emissions across the entire operational footprint and aligns with international Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol standards.

"These certifications recognize our ongoing efforts to reduce our environmental impact, primarily through improvements in our operations", said Anuluk Janyao, EHS Deputy Manager at SIG Thailand.

The CFP certification was awarded to all 22 packaging formats manufactured in SIG's packaging plant for aseptic carton packs in Rayong, Thailand. This demonstrates the company's ability to meet the evolving sustainability requirements of customers in both domestic and international markets.
