This Environmental Impact of Packaging Position Statement applies to Almarai Company (“Almarai”), a listed joint stock company, incorporated and existing under the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Almarai), and any of its Controlled entities (each such entity, including Almarai, an Almarai Entity).
Packaging is essential to protecting and preserving the quality and safety of our products for consumers. Today’s food and beverage packaging prevents spoilage and food waste whilst enhancing shelf life. It helps to maintain the taste and freshness of our products and provides important nutritional information to help consumers make more informed choices. Single-use plastic packaging, both lightweight and high performing, helps to increase the overall efficiency through the entire supply chain.
The purpose of this position statement is to share the global concerns about the impact packaging waste has on the environment and Almarai is prepared to play its part to address this challenge. This requires a holistic approach to understand how consumers use our products in conjunction with the requirements within the supply chain.
Our strategic approach to address the challenge is based on: Remove and Reduce, Re-use, Recycle, Review, and Re-imagine.
By taking this 360-degree approach, Almarai will significantly reduce the impact of its packaging within the environment. Almarai will communicate this position statement to all its employees and interested parties, and ensure it is freely available to the wider community. This position statement will be reviewed and updated as required.
This position statement, supported by the QRHSS&S Division, will be applied to all business operations and services carried out by Almarai.
