Sun Chemical has released its 2012 Sustainability Report, which showcases Sun Chemical’s leadership in eco-efficiency through established data-driven metrics, as well as examples of how raw material suppliers are contributing to the company’s environmental footprint.
The report describes a balanced scorecard approach that Sun Chemical uses to assess suppliers’ environmental performance and provides details about questionnaires that were sent to suppliers asking about their sustainability policies, carbon footprint emissions, the potential impact on deforestation, etc.
The report cites two case study examples of raw material suppliers who published sustainability reports and described their contributions and practices to eco-efficiency. “We’re going beyond providing meaningful data that will help meet customer goals,” says Gary Andrzejewski, Sun Chemical’s corporate VP of environmental affairs. “We are showing concrete examples of things our raw material suppliers are doing to help Sun Chemical meet and improve upon its eco-efficiency goals. It is our goal to manufacture products that help our customers better meet their environmental goals and we can only do that by ensuring our suppliers are also doing their part to contribute to sustainable practices.”
The report shows data collected every year since 2005 from approximately 170 Sun Chemical sites in over 25 countries, and measures include energy consumption/conservation at production and non-production sites, the energy carbon footprint at the production sites, process waste reduction, water consumption, materials safety, and employee safety.
