Minimising our impact
on the environment
As a responsible company with own manufacturing facilities, we worry about natural resources running out.
Our contributions
In our daily operations, LC Packaging has a direct impact on Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 8,9, 12 and 17 as set by the United Nations. However, we are committed and proud to contribute to even more of the SDG's through our actions and initiatives.

LC Packaging, aided by Except Integrated Sustainability, conducted comprehensive corporate environmental footprint research of our CO2 emissions, waste generation and water and energy use in 2019.
Target
LC Packaging conducted its very first environmental footprint research in 2016. Based on the outcomes of this research, we finalised our environmental targets for 2022. Since 2016, we have increased our workforce by 59%, added an extension to our production facility in Bangladesh and scaled up our production worldwide. Naturally, all of this caused our CO2 emissions, energy use and water consumption to increase. The
reductions brought about by our initiatives to minimise our water and energy use and CO2 emissions so far do not outweigh these developments. Our initiatives related to reducing our waste production, however, means we have achieved our target already. In particular, our GREENBangla in-house process waste recycling initiative made a huge impact. 38% of all our waste produced worldwide is recycled in-house.

Reduction needed
In the remaining 2 years, we aim to reduce our total environmental footprint in all areas, meaning we will continue our journey to find and implement ways to minimise our footprint for all LC Packaging offices, warehouses and production facilities.
