8 NEWS PETplanet Insider Vol. 21 No. 11/20 www.petpla.net 2 nd CSR Report shows progress from Retal Global plastic packaging manufacturer Retal has published its 2019 Sustainability Report, proudly highlighting improvements across its ambitious CSR goals. In this second annual Sustainability Report Retal lays out its Circular Economy Strategy as integral to the business which revolves around increasing recycled material uptake, promoting Design for Recycling (DfR), and plastic pollution awareness and education. Sustainability Director and author of the report Emmanuel Duffaut adds, “The report shows our first steps in the three axes of our strategy with heavy investment in our processing capacity of rPET, engagement with our customers on recy- clability guidelines and cleanup activities with our local communities”. The 2019 Sustainability Report from Retal also includes particular progress in its climate change action, with a major reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (down 17% from its 2018 base year), which contributed to its B score in the Carbon Dis- closure Project (CDP). Duffaut explains, “Our man- agement of climate change is a real success story, and we intend to continue mitigating our impact by continuously increasing our consumption of renew- able energy and improving our energy efficiency across the whole company. A B-score from the CDP for our first evaluation show that we are on the right track, so we’re motivated to carry on and keep pushing boundaries.” Labour Practices, Human Rights, and Sustain- able Procurement are also strongly addressed in the report, with, for example, the launch of an internal project to globally rollout an ISO 45001 certified Occupational Health & Safety management system. www.retalgroup.com Coca-Cola European Partners has made a non-binding proposal to acquire Coca-Cola Amatil Limited Coca-Cola European Partners plc (CCEP) announces that it has made a non-binding proposal to acquire Coca-Cola Amatil Limited (CCL).
