Colpac earns landmark environmental accolade from BPIF

COLPAC has announced that it has become the first company to be awarded the reviewed and updated Environmental Seal of Business Excellence from The British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF).

The award demonstrates the firm’s commitment to sustainability and stringent environmental practices.

Colpac revealed it passed all requirements of the seal, which included areas such as waste management, supplier due diligence, and carbon footprint initiatives.

“Sustainability is at the core of everything that we do at Colpac,” said ESG manager Talia Goldman. “We are passionate about improving the sustainability of our packaging and building environmental practices to advance business as a force for good. It’s exciting to have received recognition from the BPIF!”

Colpac develops food packaging for a range of markets. The manufacturer has recently calculated its scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for the first time, and is now working through how to deliver its short and long-term net zero targets.

Frances Dickman, compliance and QA manager at Colpac, added, “I am delighted that we have received this seal of excellence from the BPIF – a fantastic achievement for us to share with our green team and colleagues across the business. We always welcome fresh perspectives and recommendations for improvement of our processes and sustainability initiatives.”

Colpac is a platinum member of the BPIF, which means the company has access to specialised expertise, industry specific training, and business improvement consultation. The business also received the Health and Safety Seal of Excellence from the BPIF in 2022.
