Carbon Neutrality & a Free Employee Recruitment/ Retention Webinar

Virginia: 00:00:16

This week A I C C is hosting our spring meeting, so I'm in Miami with

Virginia: 00:00:21

over 700 of your fellow members it's only Monday and I'm already losing my voice.

Virginia: 00:00:26

So I'm going to keep this update short and sweet so I can get back to the

Virginia: 00:00:30

networking and educational sessions and let you get back to your day.

Virginia: 00:00:33

Customers today want to know more than that you use renewable

Virginia: 00:00:36

and recyclable resources.

Virginia: 00:00:38

They wanna know the details and the numbers, and that means you

Virginia: 00:00:41

need someone to track the numbers internally and someone who can

Virginia: 00:00:45

explain those numbers to the customer.

Virginia: 00:00:47

A I C C has partnered with the packaging school to offer you

Virginia: 00:00:51

a carbon neutrality program.

Virginia: 00:00:53

It's an online training series that culminates with a live meeting

Virginia: 00:00:57

during the A I C C 2023 fall meeting If a customer has ever asked you,

Virginia: 00:01:02

how can we be more sustainable?

Virginia: 00:01:04

It's not a one-time discussion within the packaging development process.

Virginia: 00:01:08

It's an important and complex conversation , and the conversation

Virginia: 00:01:11

needs to begin during the packaging concept phase with a focus on both the

Virginia: 00:01:15

beginning and end of a package's life.

Virginia: 00:01:18

You can clearly show how this will greatly minimize its impact on the planet

Virginia: 00:01:23

and allow you to serve your customers and brand messaging responsibly.

Virginia: 00:01:26

There are four phases to the carbon neutrality program, and it'll allow

Virginia: 00:01:31

you to define the key terminology, construct UN based sustainability

Virginia: 00:01:35

targets and goals, develop sustainable system design on the material level,

Virginia: 00:01:40

and measure the carbon footprint of the packaging, and then select relevant offset

Virginia: 00:01:45

programs to achieve carbon neutrality.

Virginia: 00:01:47

At a per product or box level.

Virginia: 00:01:50

We also have a free webinar coming up, shop floor operators and

Virginia: 00:01:59

what they expect today regarding company recruitment and retention.

Virginia: 00:02:03

On Wednesday, May 10th.

Virginia: 00:02:05

The last few years have shown that in-person employment and the

Virginia: 00:02:09

conventional 40 hour work week are not necessarily what you need

Virginia: 00:02:12

to build a high performing team.

Virginia: 00:02:14

And companies worried about recruitment and retention.

Virginia: 00:02:18

Recognize that.

Virginia: 00:02:19

So A I C C technical advisor, Tom Webber, is going to review some trends that he

Virginia: 00:02:24

has witnessed recently that can act as powerful differentiators for companies

Virginia: 00:02:29

that want to maintain an edge when recruiting and retaining their employees.

Virginia: 00:02:34
