Providing Frameworks for Industry Challenges
and Regulatory Requirements
Enhanced Disclosure Requirements
​
Under the CSRD, companies are required to provide more detailed sustainability information, including their impact on the environment.
​
This necessitates comprehensive reporting on the production, use, and disposal of plastics, focusing on reducing environmental impact and enhancing circular economy practices.
​
Manufacturers must ensure their reports align with the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) standards and provide the necessary data for sustainability-related financial disclosures.
Supply Chain Due Diligence
​
European due diligence directives and the ISSB standards emphasize the importance of responsible supply chain management.
​
Manufacturers need to conduct thorough due diligence on their suppliers to ensure that their practices align with environmental and social standards.
​
This includes assessing risks related to the sourcing of raw materials, labour practices, and environmental impacts throughout the supply chain.
Climate-related Financial Disclosures
​
Both the ISSB S1 and S2 standards and the SEC rules require companies to disclose their climate-related financial risks and opportunities.
​
For the plastics industry, this involves detailing greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, and waste management practices, as well as strategies to mitigate environmental risks and adapt to climate change.
Circular Economy and Waste Management
​
Emphasis on the circular economy is a key aspect of sustainability reporting standards and directives.
Manufacturers must focus on designing products for recyclability, reducing waste in production processes, and increasing the use of recycled materials.
​
Reporting on initiatives that contribute to a circular economy, such as product take-back schemes and innovations in biodegradable plastics, is crucial.
Social Responsibility and Governance
​
Beyond environmental considerations, the mentioned standards and directives also require reporting on social and governance issues.
​
This includes labour practices, human rights in the supply chain, community engagement, and governance structures that support sustainability objectives.
​
Manufacturers need to demonstrate how they are addressing these issues through transparent reporting and active management strategies.
