Strategy

We make packaging for good

Our Purpose – we make packaging for good – is driven by our Core Values – Inclusion, Trust, Teamwork and Excellence – and underpinned by the three pillars of our sustainability strategy – Emissions, Ecology and Social.

In 2022, Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP) and Ardagh Glass Packaging (AGP) received approval from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for near-term emissions reductions targets. You can learn more about our strategy, targets and projects throughout these pages.

As a signatory to the UN Global Compact (UNGC), our sustainability strategy is linked to specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our strategy takes a comprehensive approach aimed at embedding environmental, social, and economic considerations into our operations and decision-making processes. In 2024, we published our Sustainability Roadmap which depicts our progress and path forward.

A strategy built on three key pillars

Emissions

Ecology

Social

Minimize Our GHG emissions - Further information on these items is set out in our Sustainability Roadmap linked in the footnotes below

Targets and ambitions

2030 targets

AMP and AGP have committed to ambitious targets for emissions, waste, and water withdrawal reduction. The emissions reduction targets for AMP and AGP and their respective value chains have been approved by the SBTi. This is in line with the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015, under which governments pledged to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Further information can be found in our Sustainability Roadmap.

Waste

AMP:
Zero waste to landfill by 2025^*

AGP:
Zero waste to landfill by 2030^*

Greenhouse gas

AMP and AGP:
100% renewable electricity by 2030
42% absolute Scope 1+2 reduction by 2030^**
12.3% absolute Scope 3 reduction by 2030^**

Water withdrawal

AMP:
20% intensity reduction by 2030

AGP:
26% intensity reduction by 2030

Emissions

AMP:
10% VOC emission intensity
 reduction by 2030

*Zero waste to landfill for operational waste streams, where allowed by regulation
**Approved by Science Based Targets initiative

2030 AMP status to targets

Metric¹	Target to 2030 (unless otherwise stated)	Status (progress to target)
Renewable electricity	100%	30%
Absolute Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions	42% Reduction	2% increase from 2020²
Absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions	12.3% Reduction	100% Stated target met during 2024
VOC emissions intensity	10% reduction	89% Progress to target³

Water withdrawal intensity	20% reduction	30% Progress to target³
Zero waste to landfill by 2025⁴	100%	83% Progress to target

¹ The Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) provided limited assurance of the acquisition, processing and aggregation of the quantitative data necessary to calculate the principal 2024 environmental and health and safety KPIs reported.

² Market-based approach used.

³ Intensity metrics shown include can body production facilities only (excluding Huron, Ohio - since this facility produces both cans and ends), as water and VOC emissions from ends production is insignificant.

⁴ Zero waste to landfill applies only to operational waste streams and is implemented in accordance with internal standards and local regulations.
