The ALPLA year in numbers. ��� Our past year was characterised by many investments into further development and growth. 🚀 Compared to the previous year, we were able to increase the number of plants from 190 up to 196. We have employed 23,300 employees in a total of 47 countries. 🌍 Mainly due to the decline in the very high cost of materials from 2022, our sales fell slightly to EUR 4.7 billion in 2023. The value added remained stable. Our CEO, Philipp Lehner, emphasized that through our strategic investments in 2023, we have set the course for a long-term growth. 📈 Read more ▶️ http://spkl.io/60094QRP9 #FamilyOfPioneers #Sustainability #Packaging #SustainablePackaging #CircularEconomy #Recycling #FinancialYear #CompanyReport

Just on my way home from this really excellent event The Consumer Goods Forum Copenhagen Retail Sustainability Summit. Learned lots, met some super people. Overall I heard several themes... 1. Innovation was a word used a lot, and the need for it (interesting because innovation has slacked off in many corps right now) 2. Humans/consumers moving to the middle of the agenda - I am biased as iI want to hear this, and talked about it, but the need for this was mentioned frequently before our session. 3. Data is critical. 4. Collaboration across companies to get to Net Zero (ad other goals) is absolutely critical - and happening. 5. Companies are really leaning in to help suppliers - for example in food/farming - not just telling them what they require. 6. Overall - despite the fact we are behind on net zero targets - optimism that a lot is being done quietly - but that we need to accelerate #forwardfaster Thank you Emily Kowal for the teamwork.

Last week Chief Procurement Officers and Sustainability Leaders got together at the #WürzburgerSustainabilityDays organized by the team of Ronald Bogaschewsky. It was a pleasure to participate and share best practices and challenges around ESG, CSRD, Scope 3, CBAM and Decarbonization. Here are some highlights: 💡 Insights from voestalpine CPO Josef Lamplmayr from a steel producer perspective: there are massive investments in green technology 💡Evonik´s CPO Dr. Götz Lauschke talking about the importance of the carbon footprint for suppliers 💡Group Discussion from Miele´s CPO Hans Krug with Körber COO Michael Stietz and Speira´s CPO Peter Koehne regarding the focus of sustainability. Nothing is possible without Carbon Management. Purchasing and producing needs to be carbon-reduced in order to sell with the new carbon-reduced USP 💡 Anita Panov presented the already achieved Scope 3 results including a high share in activity-based supplier carbon footprint data of Schaeffler. She also highlighted the importance of supplier specific data collection at scale. All participants had a great opportunity to chat with the experts and benefit for their businesses with a joined mission: Let´s decarbonize together!

I've said before that I've never worked at a company that so fully integrates sustainability into how we operate before joining COYUCHI, so I'm looking forward to sharing how we approach ESG at the company. In a few weeks, I'll be at Manifest: The Future of Supply Chain & Logistics to present on the topic and look forward to seeing many of you there! #ManifestVegas #Manifest2024 #sustainability #ESG #supplychain #logistics #operations

I have had the privliage to be on the Board of LogiChem Europe since 2019. I am proud to see it develop into a convening where there is Diversity and Inclusion in action...even when discussing Chemicals (see below 🙌 ) I am excited to spend this week with hundreds of leaders in the Chemical Industry and doing my part to facilitate thought and conversation around topics I am passionate about. #supplychain I am energized to lead the following sessions: 1️⃣ Sparking interesting dialogue as the moderator on the main stage for how we can adapt our people and process best to respond to market volitiatly and achieve resilience #empowerment 2️⃣ Chairing the Customer Centric Supply Chain & Partner Experience Track to assimilate all of the knowledge of what matters the most (our customers), who drives the relationships (our customer service teams), and why it all matters! #peoplefirst 3️⃣ Chairing the main stage to accelerate our action on innovation and new ways of thinking including building the next generation of change ready teams. #futureofwork Two sessions I am looking forward to the most is a fireside chat with an extraordinary leader Ceylan Ünsal to discuss how we can close the digital gap and include #upskilling and #Reskilling programs with our teams. And second, the Lion's Den with University Students challenging our leaders on what we need to change to have sustainable organizations after this week... I'll have gained incredible insights and enhanced important relationships but also be ready for some downtime. 😉 #balance Agora Leadership US Center for Advanced Manufacturing
