Achieving this strategically critical certification in 2025 will demonstrate to our customers and staff our commitment to addressing our contribution to the global climate crisis as all our products will have a \u2018zero carbon footprint\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From this initial boundary period calculation, BoxWay Packaging Group is building a decarbonization plan to achieve Net Zero by 2045, five years ahead of the UK backstop. The Group will target a 50% reduction in \u2018Operational Control\u2019 emissions by 2035 and work closely with the entire supplychain to ensure its decarbonization is aligned to BoxWay\u2019s industry leading targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Woollard continues: \u201cThe climate crisis didn\u2019t happen overnight, and we certainly won\u2019t solve it overnight, but I am delighted BoxWay Packaging Group now has a plan to achieve Net Zero ahead of the UK backstop. It is everyone\u2019s responsibility to reduce their impact on the global climate crisis. We are not only building an environmentally sustainable business, but also a financially sustainable business,since procurement is no longer solely about price andservice, but is today very much driven by CARBON, price andservice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dom Napier<\/strong>, MD of TTBCG.com, comments: \u201cWe are immensely proud to support Andrew and the whole team at BoxWay Packaging Group through their commitment to achieving Carbon Neutral certification and Net Zero by 2045.The climate crisis affects EVERYONE, and it is EVERYONE\u2019S responsibility to do everything they can in reducing carbon emissions to secure our planet for future generations to come. David Attenborough states: \u201cRight now we have the capacity and knowledge to stop the damage we are doing, but what we don\u2019t have is time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carbon Neutral certification is the short\/medium term objective ahead of the long-term commitment to becoming Net Zero by 2045. The \u2018Operational Control\u2019 emissions for the boundary period were offset through the purchase and retirement of verified carbon credits from four different global projects, which not only mitigated the carbon footprint but also demonstrate additional social and humanitarian benefits through the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG\u2019s).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BoxWay Packaging Group, the innovative, customer-focussed, design-led corrugated cardboard packaging business, has today announced it has successfully attained its first milestone in its journey to net zero by achieving Carbon Neutrality for its Boundary Period \u2018Operational Control\u2019 emissions.
