ASL Global Publishes New Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability Report

ASL Global's Chairman, Alec Pettigrew, presents our latest Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability Report. He reflects on the progress made since the launch of ASL's Sustainability initiative, One World, and looks ahead to the ambitious targets we have set ourselves to the Year 2025.

I'm proud to report that we have made significant progress on our Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability journey since the launch of ASL Global's 'One World' initiative in 2020.

Last year, we set ourselves firm targets, prioritising those issues which have particular social & environmental significance for our business, focusing our efforts on where we can make a tangible, positive impact.

We feel it is important to openly share these commitments and our recent progress with ASL's key stakeholders. The past year has been challenging for us all, but we believe in the importance of pursuing environmental sustainability & social responsibility, and we are making good progress towards building a more sustainable business. Highlights of the past year include:

• Reduced our CO2 emissions by 50%
• In-depth sustainability training for all ASL colleagues
• Expansion of our internship programme to train and mentor the next talented generation
• Saving 529 tonnes of plastic from landfill by using recycled PET fabric & compostable packaging
• New emissions tracking & waste management systems for ASL offices
• Voluntary reporting to the Carbon Disclosure Protocol

We have a clear path towards building a more sustainable business through three key objectives:

And we're focused on some specific goals relating to each one:

REDUCE OUR IMPACT

Setting science-based targets for carbon reduction

Becoming a carbon neutral business

INSPIRE OUR PARTNERS

Removing single-use plastic from our operations

Launching a product lifecycle sustainability calculator

HELP COMMUNITIES FLOURISH

Expanding our internship programme to all markets

Implementing a social equity scorecard for all ASL suppliers

These are ambitious targets, but we are working as hard as possible to achieve them.  It remains our commitment to become more sustainable, and to support our customers & suppliers to do the same. We're excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, to collaborate with our customers and supply partners in building transparent, sustainable marketing supply chains that reduce environmental impact and help local communities to flourish.
