Winpak Strengthens Commitment to Environmental Transparency with High CDP Score

WINNIPEG, MB, Jan. 24, 2023 /CNW/ - Winpak Ltd. ("Winpak" or the "Company") proudly announces its ongoing commitment to environmental transparency by disclosing its environmental impact through CDP, a global non-profit that runs the world's leading environmental disclosure platform. Winpak has disclosed through CDP since 2018 and responded to the detailed climate change questionnaire.

Disclosing data around environmental impact is now a business standard. By disclosing through CDP, Winpak is prepared to respond to the increasing demand for environmental transparency from employees, customers, consumers, investors, and policymakers within the regions it operates.

"We are extremely proud to receive an outstanding score of A- in our 2022 CDP filing", states Phillip Crowder, Director, Corporate Sustainability. "One of Winpak's core values is to make decisions today that positively impact the world in the future. Our latest CDP score reflects Winpak's adherence to this value and highlights the tangible steps our dedicated employees are taking to minimize the environmental impact of our business operations". 

Dexter Galvin, Global Director of Corporations and Supply Chains at CDP, commented, "Another year of extreme weather, including floods, droughts and record temperatures, has shown us that climate change is already posing a real and increasing risk to companies and their supply chains. Companies have a fundamental role to play in securing a sustainable net-zero, deforestation-free and water-secure world. It is only through measuring their environmental impact, risks and opportunities that they can manage them and prepare for the future. By disclosing through CDP, Winpak has taken a vital first step. I look forward to their continued dedication to transparency and action for the benefit of all people and planet."
