About this database
- Purpose
- To help packaging makers and suppliers see what large buyers have committed to publicly, by end use and region, and how far they have got.
- Coverage
- 42 large brand owners and retailers so far, chosen for their size in packaging demand. It is not a complete list of buyers in any market.
- Data sources
- Each company's own sustainability, annual and ESG reports, press releases and filings, plus official sources where a pledge was made to a public body.
- Methodology
- For each target we record the wording, the target year, the latest progress the company reports and a short quote from the source. Status says met or missed only when the company states the result; otherwise it shows in progress or not reported.
- Limitations
- Companies report on different bases and years. Headquarters countries are added by our analysts and are not separately sourced. Rows have not yet been re-checked by a second analyst. No contacts, purchase volumes, supplier relationships or pack specifications are included.
- Access
- Free to read and to download as CSV. For an analysis of a buyer group for your products, ask for a buyer briefing.
