CHEP wins fifth consecutive APCO award

At the 2022 Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) awards, CHEP Australia was announced as the winner of the Logistics and Warehousing Industry Sector Award for the fifth consecutive year.

The APCO awards celebrate Australian organisations leading the way in sustainable packaging design and innovation and demonstrating their commitment to delivering the 2025 National Packaging Targets.

One of 12 Industry Sector Awards, the Logistics and Warehousing Award celebrates the highest-performing APCO member in each major industry sector. It is assessed based on members’ annual reporting scores and their performance against the Packaging Sustainability Framework criteria.

“Congratulations to all our Industry Sector Award winners. It’s fantastic to see the work our members have made to implement and develop sustainable solutions to packaging recycling and design,” APCO CEO Chris Foley said. “Each winner has showcased an incredible commitment to meeting the 2025 National Packaging Targets and it’s wonderful to see the progress we have made over the past year.”

Lis Mannes, Executive General Manager, CHEP Australia, said, “We are delighted to win this prestigious award and I would like to thank APCO for recognising both CHEP’s contribution to the circular economy and our commitment to delivering the 2025 National Packaging Targets.

“CHEP is working to help create a nature-positive economy with re-use, resilience and regeneration at its core.

“We’re setting the ambition to pioneer truly regenerative supply chains. In other words, putting back in more than we take from the world. By reaching zero impact and beyond, we’ll be delivering the supply chains needed for the future.

“Our people want to make positive change through their work, which fuels their enthusiasm to continually strive for better results.”
