Flint Group Publishes 2013 Sustainability Report

Flint Group has announced publication of its first externally available sustainability report providing comprehensive economic, social and environmental data, detailing the Group’s strong performance over the last several years within the sustainability arena.

Since its formation in 2005, Flint Group has strived to deliver market-leading sustainable solutions and has adopted a unique approach to sustainability – based on the organization’s own mission and guiding principles. This approach not only ensures alignment to business strategy but also to its organizational goal of operating in a manner that maximizes product performance while minimizing any negative impact of its operations on the environment.

As one of the leading suppliers to the printing and packaging industries, Flint Group remains committed to implementing initiatives that support continual improvement in all areas – including sustainability. Publishing this report will enable the Group to better capture and share results of key programs that help drive the sustainability agenda within the organization.

“The introduction of this first Sustainability report is a key building block for the organisation and one which will provide a source of constant evolution for us,” said Antoine Fady, CEO, Flint Group. “While this is the first public and external sustainability report for the group, it is important to note that this has been built on many years of focus and management of the elements that remain critical to the sustainability agenda. Flint Group has been built from companies with roots stretching back over 230 years – and has been able to draw from experience to mix and match values based on ‘best practice’ to integrate sustainability into the way we run the business – rather than a separate initiative.”

“We have focused this first report on substance rather than style,” Mr. Fady added. “We know we are not there yet; we also know that there will always be room to improve. We do, however, believe that our current understanding and status of our sustainability efforts forms a great starting point and basis to work from moving forwards. The publishing of this report not only better positions us to meet our own business goals but should also help Flint Group’s customers to achieve their own sustainability goals.”

Aligned to the Dow Jones Sustainable Index, the report outlines the Group’s performance in three key areas – Social, Economic and Environment – detailing the way in which Flint Group has incorporated sustainable business practices into its daily activities. The report is intended to serve as a flagship document for stakeholders to help understand Flint Group’s ongoing commitment to sustainability.
