We’re excited to share our 2023-2024 Healthy People, Healthy Planet Report with you!
Over the last three years, we’ve released a Sustainability Report that highlights the Sustainability Program’s initiatives, goals, and progress of Atlantic and A New Earth Project.
It has become clear that our journey toward environmental sustainability is closely tied to health: planetary health of course, but also our health as humans. The oceans, lakes, and rivers we fight to keep clean are the same waters that sustain us. Our search for new and better materials for packaging has just as much to do with protecting human health as it does protecting the environment.
For that reason, as we roll out our 2023-2024 report, we’re excited to expand it from being just a sustainability report to our first Healthy People, Healthy Planet Report. It covers environmental sustainability alongside our ever-growing Wellness Program that has become a cornerstone of our culture. It also covers the critical intersection of sustainability, wellness, and the initiatives we’re taking to weave these principles together.
“Whether it be our own personal health, the health of our communities and businesses, or the health of our shared, natural ecosystems, we know that health must be holistically cultivated to create a more beautiful thriving world for all life,” says Atlantic Packaging President Wes Carter. “Because of this understanding, we have established health as the throughline by which we make all decisions at Atlantic. It only made sense to weave together our sustainability and wellness initiatives into a comprehensive report through this first Healthy People, Healthy Planet report.”
In the sustainability section, the report brings an expanded overview of our sustainable packaging offering, alongside new customer success stories and a feature on our new product, FibreStrap. It also includes updates on our closed-loop system for stretch film and details about Atlantic’s inclusion on CDP’s A List for environmental transparency and performance on climate change.
The wellness section provides a brand-new overview of how we’ve integrated health and wellness into our operations and culture. A special section on “healthy people, healthy planet” highlights the areas we’ve worked on together to further both planetary and human health.
Atlantic is excited to share this report with our customers, suppliers, and partners as we continue to be lead in health and well-being across the supply chain.
