Flint Group launches its prism sustainability framework

The plans include Flint Group’s recent commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with the company reducing carbon emissions in line with the 1.5°C scenario set out in the goals of the Paris Agreement. Matthew Rowland-Jones, sustainability officer at Flint Group, said, “As the focus on climate change grows, brands seek packaging and label formats which are more sustainable to support their objectives. In today’s highly competitive market, printers need confidence that their vendors can help them lead in sustainable packaging via responsibly sourced, sustainable materials.”
 
“Flint Group’s new prism framework does that with a new set of targets and KPIs, we’re outlining how we will pave the way for even more sustainable products. But more importantly, this framework will see us overhaul our business. Prism lays the groundwork for transformational change, from reducing waste to caring for and diversifying our workforce. We look forward to delivering this change and seeing the results,” Rowland-Jones added.

In the same way a glass prism separates white light into different colours, the company’s prism framework breaks the complexity of sustainability down into three parts: Products, people, and the planet. It is designed to embed sustainability into the business, focusing on the issues affecting the organisation, its customers, and its stakeholders.
 
Steve Dryden, CEO of Flint Group, said, “For Flint, it is essential that our inks and coatings be integral to the packaging circular economy. With prism, our commitments become clear - to innovate, and to reduce the environmental impact of our products, the footprint of our business, and that of our customers. Importantly, to invest in our people, building a diverse workforce who can support these objectives.”
