Investing in Better: Our plan for 2026–2030

Reduce our impact

We are pursuing four clear, refreshed objectives between now and 2030 that will help us to build resilience and use resources more efficiently, while protecting the environment and supporting our people and communities.

Investing in Better also ensures that our portfolio of products will reinforce kp’s leadership in responsible packaging.

Our objectives

Our 'Investing in Better' sustainability strategy incorporates four overarching objectives, which we will report on from 2026 onwards.

Reduce our impact

We will continue to work towards reducing our environmental impact by improving energy and resource efficiency, reducing emissions and embedding ‘zero waste to landfill’ practices in our business.

By 2030, we aim to:

  • Deliver 25 million kWh of verified energy savings from projects.
  • Reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 75% against our 2019 base year.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 36.5% against our 2019 base year.
  • Maintain zero (0kg) waste-to-landfill at all sites (where legislation allows).

Drive product circularity

We aim to continue expanding our recyclable product range, further embedding circular design principles and promoting closed-loop systems.

By 2030, we aim to:

  • Increase the percentage by volume of recyclable packaging sold.
  • Achieve 30% PCR content, derived from post‑consumer thermoforms, in products within the kp Tray2Tray® programme.
  • More than 50% of rigid PET films and trays in our food packaging applications will incorporate material exclusively derived from post-consumer thermoforms.
