Developing a Clear Sustainability Purpose and Positioning
Vinyl products play a significant role in fulfilling the needs of current and future generations. As an industry, we understand that a fast-growing population will demand much more of the earth’s natural resources. And we want to be prepared to address this challenge.
If Nothing Changes, the World Will Need Three Planets’ Worth of Resources.
If the world does nothing, the we will need three planets worth of resources to meet future population demands.
For our industry, sustainability is about producing more with less: better environmental and natural resources stewardship, with economic sense and social due diligence. Doing more with less is essential to the way we manufacture and market our products.
Taking a Balanced Approach.
Being more sustainable requires the vinyl value chain to develop an integrated, balanced approach where environmental, social, and economic issues are taken into consideration equally. Doing this right is hard, but it will lead to long-term, sustainable benefits.
