How VPK Group embeds sustainability in its supply chain decisions

Commitment to achieving sustainability goals means accepting responsibility for taking action and monitoring progress. That’s how VPK Group views the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, arguably the biggest challenge industries face right now. VPK acts on multiple levels, not just by investing in state-of-the-art production facilities but also by looking at suppliers to reduce scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. Kevin De Winter, the group’s Procurement Manager, explains how smarter planning contributes to this effort: “We’re integrating sustainability KPIs into our supply chain planning decision-making process.”
