WHAT WE
MAKE
Amcor is a global packaging company with more than 195 sites in 43 countries. We develop and make
flexible and rigid plastic packaging and folding-carton technology and products. A majority of our sales
are to the food, beverage, and healthcare packaging industries. Our products protect fresh produce, snack
food, medicine, water, juices, and carbonated soft drinks, among many other products. Here are just five
of our product developments of which we’re especially proud:
PRODUCT PROFILES
Method liquid laundry detergent bottle

As the industry’s first liquid laundry detergent bottle made of 100%
post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
resin, the Amcor Method Laundry Detergent Bottle won Diamond
awards in the Technological Advancement, Responsible Packaging,
and Enhanced User Experience categories. Developed by our Rigid
Plastics group, this sleek, 53-ounce transparent custom container
successfully answered the compatibility and colour stability
challenges of using PET in the liquid laundry detergent market.
Amcor’s Advanced Sustainability Stewardship Evaluation Tool
(ASSET™) life-cycle assessment tool demonstrated that using 100%
PCR resin reduces the bottle’s life cycle energy consumption by 78%
and its carbon footprint by 35% compared to a virgin
PET alternative.
Amcor
WHAT WE
MAKE (continued)
AmLite
This year, Amcor launched AmLite Ultra, a transparent, metal-free packaging solution with a high barrier.
AmLite Ultra is the latest addition to Amcor’s broader AmLite line, which comprises metal-free films that
are exceptional for high-barrier packaging. Using Amcor’s Ultra SiOx coating, Amlite Ultra has an oxygen
barrier comparable to that of aluminium.
AmLite products also offer a significant environmental benefit by reducing material use. According to
ASSET, AmLite has a 40% smaller carbon footprint, some of which is due to its 21% lighter weight.
AmLite Ultra can be used for a range of ambient dry food products, as well as medical and personal care
products in a variety of pack formats, including bags, stand up pouches and spouted pouches, flow packs,
sachets, and more.
Amcor
WHAT WE
MAKE (continued)
Pandora
Amcor Rigid Plastics won a WorldStar Award
for developing Pandora, a 22-gram hot-fill PET
bottle with a design inspired by tea leaves. The
ergonomic, cost-effective, and more sustainable
bottle was designed for key customer Pepsico-
Lipton’s 500mL tea drink for the Central
American market. Even as one of the lightest

commercialized hot-fill containers in the world,
Pandora is exceptionally rigid because of a
specialised base that flexes as the content of the
bottle cools. The bottle’s unique curved design
uses 30% less PET and fits comfortably in a
consumer’s hand. The material reduction results
in a range of benefits including a dramatically
smaller environmental footprint through
recyclability and reducing the amount of energy
required to make the bottle. The Pandora bottle
also received recognition from the A’Design
Awards’ World Design Rankings, which showcases
the best and most creative designs worldwide.
Amcor
WHAT WE
MAKE (continued)
Formpack Ultra
Formpack® Ultra is a cold form blister product with greater elongation than standard cold form solutions.
With product cavities that can be drawn deeper and with sharper wall angles than was previously
possible, pharmaceutical companies can design smaller blister cards or add more cavities without
increasing the blister card size. The smaller cavities also provide better product protection, shelf life, and
stability.
Formpack® Ultra’s superior performance is an outcome of “best-in-class” selection of raw materials,
advanced manufacturing processes, and extensive quality control. By making more efficient use of
material, Formpack® Ultra reduces changeovers and lowers associated setup waste at the customer’s
site. These factors result in a lower carbon footprint and a decreased total cost of ownership.
Sunshine
Amcor Tobacco Packaging launched Sunshine
in 2015, a new printing technology that delivers
a highly reflective metallic effect without
the use of metal layers. Not only does this
technology allow for a simpler supply chain and
improved packaging line performance, it delivers
environmental benefits including decreased GHG
emissions, water consumption, and fossil fuel
consumption.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE -
RESPONSIBLE PACKAGING 2.0
TAKING A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN PROMOTING RESPONSIBLE

PACKAGING
Our approach
Responsible packaging makes a valuable contribution to sustainability by protecting the products that
consumers need, minimising product spoilage or breakage, preserving the resources invested in the product
and ensuring that the product reaches the consumer fit and safe for its intended purpose.
As a leading global packaging company, we understand the positive effect we can have by sharing our
expertise in responsible packaging solutions with the industry. To promote responsible packaging, we:
Products and Services

DMA
• Contribute to government and NGO policies on topics such as recycling, waste reduction, and use and
disposal of packaging;
• Promote the role and benefits of responsible packaging by presenting at conferences and seminars around
the world; and
• Participate in industry forums and groups.
Our performance
Besides the sustainability of Amcor packaging itself, customers and consumers are increasingly interested in
the broader role we play in the value chain–particularly what happens to packaging once it has been used. We
are prepared to take a leadership role in addressing this issue.

Consider some of our current efforts:
Defining a plastics economy in which plastics never become waste

In May 2016, Amcor joined other Core Partners MARS, Unilever, and Veolia in the launch of the
Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy initiative. This ambitious, three-year initiative was
formed to act upon recommendations of the January 2016 report, “The New Plastics Economy: Rethinking
the Future of Plastics,” which was published at the World Economic Forum in January 2016. This report
described the material flows of global plastics and their associated economics and provided insights and
recommendations for a more effective plastics system based on circular economy principles–a new plastics
economy. With Amcor’s support, the New Plastics Economy initiative brings together key stakeholders
to re-think and re-design the future of plastics, starting with packaging. With an explicitly systemic and
collaborative approach, the initiative aims to advance the plastics value chain into a virtuous cycle of value
capture, stronger economics, and better environmental outcomes. Read more here: newplasticseconomy.org
Amcor
OUR PERFORMANCE
Keeping plastic waste out of our oceans

In October 2015, Amcor became a member of the Trash Free Seas Alliance (Alliance). Ocean Conservancy
founded the Alliance in 2011. It unites leaders from industry, conservation and academia to create
pragmatic, real-world solutions to the problem of marine debris. Backed by compelling science about
plastic marine debris, the Alliance aims to reduce the amount of plastic waste leaking into the ocean by
50 percent by 2025. The Alliance’s September 2015 report, “Stemming the Tide: Land-based Strategies
for a Plastic-Free Ocean,” outlined specific solutions starting with the elimination of plastic waste leakage
in five priority countries–China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand–where plastics are
entering the ocean at some of the highest rates in the world. Currently, the Alliance is determining how
to break down barriers to effective waste management. Other Alliance members include Nestle Waters
NA, Procter & Gamble, Walmart, and the World Wildlife Fund. Read more at :
oceanconservancy.org/our-work/trash-free-seas-alliance
Increasing access to recycling

Through The Recycling Partnership, (RP), a US-based recycling nonprofit, Amcor and other members provide
matching grants to US cities so they can invest in curbside recycling infrastructure. In 2015 RP supported 71
communities with 1.2 million households, leading to the diversion of 25,000 tons of recyclable materials from
landfills. Other members include the Alcoa Foundation, American Chemistry Council, American Forest &
Paper Association, the Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers, and Coca-Cola.
Amcor
OUR PERFORMANCE
(continued)
Developing recycling infrastructure for flexible packaging

Most flexible packaging waste is not widely recycled. Through several partnerships, we are trying to change
this. Amcor is part of Project Reflex, a UK-based program evaluating the recyclability of films and multilayer
laminates through innovative product designs and recycling technologies, with the goal of creating a circular
economy for flexible packaging in the country. The project is co-sponsored by Innovate UK, the UK’s
innovation agency; other member companies are Dow, Unilever, Nestle, Interflex, Tomra, Suez, and Axion.
Read more about it here: reflexproject.co.uk. Through our participation in the REDcycle organization in
Australia and New Zealand, Amcor helped to
develop and implement a closed-loop based
recycling initiative that makes it possible for
consumers to responsibly dispose of soft plastics.
The cross-industry effort, Materials Recovery
for the Future, seeks to develop a mainstream
recycling solution for flexible packaging in the US,
beginning with assessment of the suitability of
current recycling technology to sort out flexible
materials. In addition to Amcor, members include
Dow Chemical, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble,
Nestlé Purina PetCare and Nestlé USA, Sealed
Air, and SC Johnson, as well as the Association
for Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers, the Flexible
Packaging Association and SPI: The Plastics
Industry Trade Association.
As part of our ongoing partnership with the
Responsible Earthwatch Institute, fifteen Amcor co-workers

OUR PERFORMANCE
(continued)
Many of our co-workers are subject matter experts on sustainability issues including recycling, life cycle
assessment, and partnering for change. Our sustainability leaders often present at conferences and seminars.
This year that list included the North American PET Conference in October, the Net Impact Conference in
November, and the SustPack conference in April.
To ensure our supply chain is sustainable, we are active members in industry bodies around the world
including AIM-PROGRESS, Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, the European Organisation for Packaging and the
Environment, Flexible Packaging Association, SAVE FOOD Initiative, and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition.
Please see Appendix 3 for a complete list.

EN28
reclaimed by category
Recycling infrastructure and the availability of data regarding recycling rates varies widely across the markets
we serve as well as across the markets our customers serve. Therefore, a detailed picture of the recycling of
specifically Amcor-originating products is unlikely. Even data on reclaimed post-consumer packaging overall
is not complete. According to NAPCOR, an industry association of which Amcor is a member, the PET bottle
recycling rate in the US in 2015 was 30.1%. This is a drop from 2014, which NAPCOR attributes to less PET
being collected at curbside. With our participation in the Recycling Partnership (see page 19), we hope to
increase the rate. According to the European Association of Plastics Recycling, 34.7% of plastic packaging
waste was recycled in the EU in 2012.
Amcor provides mostly flexible packaging in our other geographic markets. More specific information
regarding the recycling of flexible plastic packaging is unavailable, though we estimate that very little is
recovered worldwide. Please see the previous page for details on how we are working to increase this rate.
Amcor
HOW WE MAKE
RESPONSIBLE PACKAGING

As a large, multinational company, we are committed to continuously improve and report on the
environmental performance of our operations, meeting or exceeding regulatory requirements in the regions
where we operate.
Our top priorities in this category, as well as the main ways we address those priorities, are as follows:
• Continuously improve environmental performance across Amcor sites
• Work with suppliers and customers to reduce environmental impacts across our value chain
• Help customers achieve their sustainability objectives
• Use our industry leadership to promote the benefits of responsible packaging
• Ensure sustainable sourcing and responsible and ethical procurement
• Maintain product safety through state of the art capabilities and processes
As stated in our Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy, “We are committed to prevent and minimise adverse
environmental impacts, including waste, emissions and discharges from our operations. We aim to minimise
the environmental footprint of our operations and products.” Our Group-wide Environmental Policy
reinforces this commitment and includes specific environmental management requirements. Our Group-wide
Sustainability Policy details our approach to sustainability and the key areas we focus on. These policies
outline a range of precautionary principles that guide our operational planning and management.
Our Environment Policy is supported by three mandatory environmental standards: Environmental discharges,
Cooling towers, and Community impact. These standards address the key risks our sites may pose to the
immediate environment. All sites are required to have an environmental management system in place i.e.
ISO14001 or equivalent, and to comply with the three Amcor environmental standards. The environmental
management system must be appropriate for the risk associated with operations at each site and the local
regulations associated with the site’s geographic location.
Sites without ISO14001 certification are required to conduct self-audits against our internal standards
annually. Regional Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment (OHS&E) coordinators also conduct site
audits, the frequency of which is determined by the risk associated with each site. Multiple groups across the
Company play critical roles in driving strategy, operational and product improvements, and policy initiatives
related to environmental responsibility. Our Corporate OHS&E function has primary responsibility for
environmental management systems and environmental compliance at our manufacturing and warehousing
sites as well as for our offices.
Amcor
HOW WE MAKE
RESPONSIBLE PACKAGING (continued)
Environmental performance and significant environmental matters are regularly discussed within the Amcor
group. We have also established an internal reporting process where environmental performance is reported
from each site up through OHS&E management to the Board each year. Our OHS&E team also participates
in due diligence tasks as part of our merger and acquisition activities and is involved in the integration of
acquired sites.
Products and services
Responsible packaging means much more than whether or not a package is able to be recycled. Responsible
packaging means protecting the product in the most efficient way possible through judicious use of resources.
Amcor takes a life cycle view of our packaging and focuses efforts on reducing the most significant portion
of a package’s life cycle- impact the materials used to construct the package. Our AFEMEA and AFA business
groups include sustainability assessments as a regular part of the product development process.
Our management approach to our products and services relies heavily on packaging life cycle assessments to

LIFE CYCLE
ASSESSMENTS
Life Cycle Assessments

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a data-based technique used to assess the environmental impacts of all
the stages of a product’s life – from raw material extraction through materials processing, manufacture,
distribution, use, and disposal, or recovery and recycling. ISO 14040 is the international standard for
conducting LCAs. We use our proprietary LCA software, the Advanced Sustainability Stewardship Evaluation
Tool (ASSET™), to generate the life cycle data that allow different packaging options to be compared.
These assessments are typically undertaken during our product development process at the request of
customers. The ASSET tool and database are regularly audited by the Carbon Trust for compliance with the
PAS2050:2008 standard for cradle-to-gate calculations of greenhouse gas emissions and the GHG protocol
on product carbon footprinting. ASSET was most recently certified in October 2014. We used ASSET to
conduct 705 assessments in FY16; we now have 5,589 assessments in the database.
Extent of impact mitigation of environmental impacts of products and
EN27
services
We consider the environmental impact of the entire life cycle of our products rather than focusing solely on
the product’s recyclability. Life cycle assessments reveal that the greatest environmental impact over the life
cycle of our products is associated with the product within the packaging. Preventing loss or waste of the
packaged product and the subsequent waste of the resources embodied in that product will have the largest
environmental impact.
Materials
As a large global manufacturing organisation, we are expected to manage, minimise, and report on our
environmental impacts and increase the efficient use of raw materials and natural resources. Our Code
Materials
DMA
of Conduct and Ethics policy states: “We reduce our environmental footprint by continually improving
the efficiency of our natural resource consumption. We utilise risk management processes to control the
environmental hazards inherent in our activities.” Our strategy for minimising our environmental footprint
is to choose materials based on both their ability to protect the product as well as their environmental
footprint, using fewer materials through lightweighting or downgauging, and using post-consumer recycled
inputs when it is an option.

Polymer
67.7% This represents all materials purchased from
external suppliers, with the information being
sourced from procurement data. There are also
internal transfers of partially manufactured goods
between Amcor plants.
Low virgin polyethylene terephthalate (PET) prices have prevailed through FY16 due to consistently low crude
oil prices and oversupply. Concurrently, the supply of post-consumer recycled (PCR) material is low and often
of questionable quality. The resulting price premium for PCR deters many brand owners from choosing PCR.
Consequently, it is often up to consumers to make a conscious decision to purchase goods in packaging made
from recycled materials to increase the use of PCR in packaging. Some customers, including Method, choose
PCR to reduce the environmental footprint of their products and to incentivize recycling.
Many of our raw materials are directly provided to us by our customers, especially in our Rigid Plastics and
Tobacco Packaging businesses. This limits our ability to choose raw materials that incorporate recycled
materials.

• 10% reduction in GHG emissions intensity from FY2010-2011 by FY2015-2016; and
• 60% reduction in GHG emissions intensity from FY2005-2006 by 2030.
We are proud to announce that we surpassed our FY16 goal and reduced GHG emissions intensity by 28%.
Our sites enter energy, waste, water, and materials activity data into EnviroChart, and emissions factors are
used to convert these activities to emissions.
Our highest source of emissions is Scope 3; that is, emissions related to fuel and energy-related activities
not included in Scope 1 or 2, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, and
downstream transportation and distribution. This number is impacted by the level of production, the mix of
raw material types, and the recycled content of raw materials we use.
Our Scope 3 emissions are estimated using information from our suppliers, consultants and conversion
factors sourced from publicly available databases contained within our life cycle analysis software. Please see
Amcor
AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Appendix 4 for detailed information on how we calculate emissions.
Our combined Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for FY16 were 9,030,486 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

Energy Indirect GHG Emissions (Scope 2) – Tonnes CO2e
EN16
During FY16, absolute Scope 2 emissions decreased by 0.6% from the previous year.
Activities contributing to reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions include: energy projects such as compressor
optimization, insulation of thermal oil systems, lighting optimization, optimization of heaters and chillers,
equipment upgrades, disconnecting equipment when not in operation, and solvent incineration.
Indirect GHG Emissions (Scope 3) – Tonnes CO2e
EN17
Absolute Scope 3 emissions increased by 5% from the previous year due to increased production, but have
still decreased 6% overall since our baseline year. On an intensity basis, Scope 3 emissions have decreased.
We achieved these reductions mainly through lightweighting, downgauging, material selection, waste
reduction, and solvent recovery.

Activities resulting in reduced waste-to-landfill over FY16 include: in-line recycling of extrusion trim and
conversion to industrial products, improved material management, and conducting educational workshops
at our manufacturing sites. Our AFAP business held a waste reduction campaign in FY16, which focused
on high-waste producing sites and required them to analyze their waste data and implement projects
to reduce waste. Our Flexibles site in Venturina, Italy was a winner in the Italian National Packaging
Consortium’s 2015 sustainability contest for their installation of a re-granulation system they use to recover
internal production waste.
Amcor
The Sustainable Waste Management (SWM) team’s goals are to reduce costs, establish and implement a
waste management model for the AFEMEA sites in Europe, and to improve Amcor’s environmental impact
through reduced waste-to-landfill. Over the past 5 years ending FY16, the team has realized over 4.8M€ in
savings and over 60% reduction in absolute waste to landfill. In FY16 the SWM team collaborated with other
functional teams to focus on consolidating waste vendors, finding alternatives for sites using incineration, and
working with strategic partners for solutions for complex laminates.
A continued challenge to further waste reduction has been the lack of infrastructure other than landfills.
This is a particular challenge in South Africa and parts of the US. Our approach in these areas, therefore, is to
encourage scrap reduction.

Amcor's production processes result in the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contained in inks,
adhesives, and solvents into the atmosphere. These emissions can contribute to the formation of ozone in the

SUPPLY
CHAIN
Amcor has close to 25,000 suppliers globally; of these, approximately 2,000 suppliers provide direct raw
materials, with the remainder being indirect suppliers of support materials and services (including, for
example, production machines and associated ancillary equipment, technical support and logistics services,
IT and telecommunications, recruitment and travel agents); many of the indirect supplier transactions
represent one-off purchases. Amcor reviews its suppliers against supply and market constraints and business
impact and its most important suppliers are categorised into “strategic” and “critical” depending on the nature
and strength of relationships; of a total of approximately 110 of the most important suppliers, 50 are classified
as strategic with the rest being deemed critical.
In FY16 we spent $6,201,590,184 USD with 23,191 suppliers on the materials and services used to
G4-12
manufacture our products. A large portion of this spend goes to large, multi-national chemical companies in
Europe or North America for the polymers we use to make our plastic packaging. Whilst our global spend on
IT and professional services is managed centrally, all other procurement activities are managed within each of
our Business Groups. The Procurement function within each Business Group is responsible for the control and
assessment of vendors who supply their business.
Our approach to supply chain management is designed to support our Company values, meet our customers’

our Supplier Code of Conduct (available online) includes principles for business integrity, labor standards,
occupational health and safety, consumer health and safety, and environmental management.
We are members of SEDEX and AIM-Progress, and also have a subscription to EcoVadis. These platforms
allow our customers to have greater insight into our business and our supply chain, and will also allow us to
follow our suppliers’ progress as they become members on these platforms. In 2015 we received a gold rating
from EcoVadis. In FY16, customers requested audits of 25 of our sites.
Back in FY15, we began to more actively engage with our suppliers to ensure a more transparent and
sustainable supply chain. This includes monitoring whether or not suppliers have signed our Supplier Code

Code of Conduct. Next, suppliers were encouraged to join EcoVadis for the purposes of being risk-assessed.
Amcor
SUPPLY
CHAIN (continued)
A supplier’s response to our Supplier Scorecard, 10% of which is in regards to sustainability risks and
opportunities, determines whether or not they need to be risk-assessed.
Questions on the scorecard include:
• Do you comply with local legislation on minimum wage/maximum working hours per employee?
• Do you allow your workers freedom of association?
• Do you account for contractors in your health and safety policy?
• Do you provide job safety training for workers and contractors?
• Do you have a program in place to measure and/or reduce your GHG emissions and/or energy consumption?

No suppliers have had their contracts terminated as a result of the risk assessment findings. Most of our
suppliers are major corporations subject to international regulations. Our priorities for the next two years are to
continue adding to the number of suppliers that have been risk-assessed through EcoVadis, and to determine
how to incentivize suppliers who perform well on the assessment.

distribute our products.”
Protecting the health of the consumer is a priority to us and our customers. We are proud of our research
and development, quality control and manufacturing processes which ensure the safety and integrity
of our packaging. Each of our Businesses has product safety processes and systems appropriate for
their packaging type, the level of risk, the regulatory environment(s) in which their sites operate and the
requirements of their customers.
Flexibles Asia Pacific business uses product safety as a key competitive advantage and have established
internal product safety standards based on the EU regulations. These standards have five levels of
compliance, from entry level at level 1 through to expert at level 5. All sites are audited once a year for
compliance with these internal standards.
Amcor
SUPPLY
CHAIN (continued)
As raw materials were identified as the highest risk to product safety, our Flexibles Asia Pacific business
is working closely with suppliers to ensure the consistent quality of the raw materials being delivered to
their factories. Our Product Safety program offers full traceability of packaging from raw materials to
finished packaging.
They are also educating customers, end consumers and governments about product safety risks and the
importance of rigorous processes to manage product safety. All AFAP co-workers are trained on the Product
Safety Policy and agree to abide by it. Within our Rigid Plastics business, Quality Management Systems have
been in place to ensure hygiene and contamination avoidance for many years.
Within our Flexibles Europe, Middle East, and Africa business, product safety is used as one of the key
differentiators with our global customer base. The Policy defines the responsibilities for product safety across
the business. Product Safety is managed centrally within the R&D function. Support is given to the sites by
a central team who provide guidance documents, templates for compliance statements, advice on training,
maintenance of central supplier documentation, assistance with customer issues, and feedback on legislation
changes proposed and then implemented. The team maintains a state of the art testing laboratory in
Germany for all analysis required, and proactively analyses samples from sites on a yearly basis to ensure full
compliance, and further drive products to a higher standard.
The operational sites carry out self audits at least once a year, with the central team conducting an internal
audit on each site at least once every three years. They also incorporate product safety into their existing
Quality Management System i.e. that used for ISO 9001 or ISO 13485 compliance.
Sites also have an accredited hygiene certification relevant to their location and business e.g. BRC, AIB,
EN15593, ISO22000.
All packaging intended to come into contact with food is required to comply with all relevant legislation e.g.
EU, FDA etc. In the absence of specific legislation, the principles of the “Framework Regulation” EC 1935/2004
apply. For products that are intended for Medical and Pharmaceutical applications, sites follow local GMP
regulations to ensure product safety. The Flexibles Europe, Middle East, and Africa business is a member
of a number of trade associations and other bodies that actively participate in committees that influence
regulatory legislation in the area of food contact. Updates to legislation are communicated to sites along with
guidance and interpretation.
Amcor
SUPPLY
CHAIN (continued)
When developing a packaging solution for a specific customer they determine what assessments of the
PR1
packaging are undertaken. In most countries there are regulatory requirements for packaging that has
direct contact with food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and medical devices to be assessed for health and
safety impacts. Packaging products that are not for human consumption may not be subject to regulatory
requirements; the customer will determine which assessments should be conducted.
We do not report an overall percentage of significant product and service categories for this indicator.
As our packaging is only one component of a packaged product that is required to meet product health and
safety regulations our customers have the responsibility to ensure compliance. If they find our packaging to
be a contributor in any non-compliance incidents they may lodge a product liability claim.
Across our global business we had 3 incident reports from our customers during FY16 with respect to
PR2
potential product liability claims. Investigation is ongoing. No product recalls occurred.
Because a large percentage of our customers are in the food processing industry and one of our material
issues is product safety and quality, we value independent third party certification to internationally
recognized food safety management system standards.
As some Amcor sites are suppliers to other Amcor sites, reporting production volume of certified sites
may lead to double counting. Therefore, we have elected to report the percentage of sites that are third
party certified to those standards, using this as a proxy for this indicator. Further, because many of our sites
manufacture packaging for both the food and pharmaceutical industries, we have included sites that are
certified for pharmaceutical and medical device quality standards as well.
Of our 151 manufacturing sites, not including those making tobacco packaging, 103 were certified in one
FP5
of more of the following certification schemes: British Retail Consortium, GAP, GFSI, Good Manufacturing
Process, HACCP, or ISO22000. This represents about 68% of our manufacturing sites.

To maintain a safe workplace everywhere, we have focused on the following areas in 2016:
1. Eliminating serious injuries through attention to critical risk areas,
2. Developing and applying criteria to determine operating sites that require particular consideration,
3. Strengthening processes and sharing what we learn about fire prevention, and
4. Distributing best practices across all business groups in order to achieve

performing maintenance at the site. Following the incident, we continue to review procedures and implement
improvements to reduce the risks of similar incidents in the future.
We also track several other important safety measures, which helps us continuously develop and introduce
new programs and processes in order to mitigate serious injuries. These include:
• The Frequency of First Aid Injuries, which tracks one-time treatments for minor injuries, such as
scratches, cuts and burns, that do not require medical care;
• The Severity Rate of Injuries using the number of days a co-worker is not at work as a scale to identify
injury severity;
• The Near-Miss Frequency Rate measures co-worker reports of unsafe conditions or events, even when
an injury does not occur; preventative action is then taken to address the issue;
• The Behavioural Audits Frequency Rate, a measure of how often audits are conducted to look at safety
behaviours company-wide, including those of co-workers, contractors and visitors; and
• Fire Ignitions, which represent incidents involving smoke or fire and help us identify root causes- such as
electrical, friction, static or hot work- and implement corrective actions.

This year we launched Amcor’s first Global Safety Campaign, a concerted and high profile worldwide effort
to manage risks associated with high-frequency or high-risk incidents and injuries. This initial campaign
focuses on hand safety, requiring sites to review and update procedures, risk assessments, and training
related to machinery guidelines. Future global campaigns will address other areas of highest risk that can
have the greatest impact on improving workplace safety.
In FY16 we also launched the Critical Hazard Alert process, which highlights hazards deemed to be the
most critical and widely applicable across Amcor sites. Each site’s General Manager and OHSE Manager
receive the Alert, along with specific actions to reduce or eliminate the hazard. Each site is required to
report their progress.
Another example of how we actively invest in improving safety for our co-workers is our “Second Party
Auditor” program. In this program, representatives from one Amcor site audit the safety systems at another
site. This year 30 additional co-workers were trained to complete audits.
Hand safety at Amcor

In March 2016, Amcor launched a series of company-wide safety campaigns to achieve goal of “No
Injuries.” These global campaigns focus on raising awareness and increasing focus on the major risk areas
that are causing injuries to Amcor employees. The first campaign focused on injuries to hands and fingers.
As of June 2016, impressive results were seen in a reduction in the number of hand and finger injuries. Site
leaders held sessions related to hand safety. These topics included identifying hand safety risks at each
site, preventative measures and correct procedures to minimize hand injuries.
In the four months leading up to the launch of the campaign, there was an average of 9.4 hand injuries per
month. In the first month after the launch of the campaign, there were seven injuries, and in May there was
only one hand injury across Amcor. Additionally, over the first three months of the campaign, over 3000
corrective actions were identified during the site audits. The next phase of the global safety campaign is
the implementation of these corrective actions.

implemented specific strategies to keep them engaged.
Every two years, we conduct an engagement survey of all coworkers in multiple languages. This enables
us to monitor co-worker engagement and formulate action plans in response to the specific feedback we
receive. Our last survey was conducted in early 2016 and 94% of co-workers responded. Compared to
the previous survey (2014) all but one survey item was rated more favourably and our overall employee
engagement levels at Amcor have improved. Also, our “Outperformance” culture is well embedded within
our organisation in many important areas and we see very strong results around focus on safety, customers,
quality and cost. Areas in which we can improve include more open communication from leadership as well
as more support for professional development. Teams have begun working on addressing these areas, and
additional action will be taken. As evidence that Amcor acts on feedback from the engagement surveys,
55% of co-workers agreed with the statement, “I have seen positive changes taking place as a result of
previous surveys.”
Our Human Resources function’s top priority continues to be acquiring and recruiting new and emerging
talent. Over FY16 we continued our efforts to attract top talent to Amcor through our Accelerated
Career Development Program, the goal of which is to build a pipeline of future commercial leaders. We
focused especially on candidates with backgrounds in emerging markets and plan to hire a second cohort
in April 2017.
In previous reports we mentioned PeopleLink, a global human resources information system. The rollout
was temporarily postponed due to the vast differences in workforce regulation across the many countries

managed in our SuccessFactors learning management system. We know that our system is effective because
satisfaction scores for all training and development related questions on our bi-annual engagement survey
results have increased. The evaluation scores of our training programs consistently score at 4.5 or above on
a 1-5 scale. Feedback for all classes is used to continuously improve course content. Training for non-salaried
co-workers is managed at the site level, and not available on a consolidated basis. Our CEO Outperformance
Awards recognize co-workers from around the business for achievements in Safety, Customer Focus, and
“Being Amcor”- our Values and Operating Model, the Amcor Way. Finalists for the awards included AFAP’s
“Safety Beyond the Workplace,” ARP’s “The Oliva Project,” and ATP’s Work-life Balance team.
Diversity and engagement

Amcor strives to achieve ‘Talent through Diversity’ and has adopted a formal diversity policy, which is
available on Amcor’s website at amcor.com/about_us.
The Board has established the following measurable indicators for advancing gender diversity within Amcor.
Opportunity
and Equal
Diversity
DMA
These are reported annually to the Board and the Human Resources Committee:
• the number of women employed at Amcor as a proportion of the total workforce (19% in FY16) ; and
• the proportion of women employed at leadership level (defined as middle management including plant
level management and more senior management): 29% in FY16.
The Board itself includes two female Directors, representing 25% of total Directors. In FY16 we consulted with
other organizations that have strong levels of diversity to determine how we can improve. One practice we
have continued is to be sure that there is at least one female on each shortlist for executive level positions.
Feedback from our current female leaders is that at Amcor, they have strong sponsorship from above, helpful
mentors, healthy work-life balance, and the latitude required to achieve their responsibilities.

Community outreach
Amcor co-workers believe strongly in our ability to positively impact the communities in which we live and work.
• Support the communities where we live and work
• Use Amcor’s packaging expertise to help solve global issues
Our approach to community engagement is formalised in our Environmental Policy, which states that we will
Communities
Local
Performance,
Economic
DMA
“communicate openly with our co-workers and the community about our performance”.
This policy is supported by a global Community Impact standard. This standard requires our sites to conduct
SO1
risk assessments to identify and manage all potential nuisance and other impacts on their local and broader
community. It also requires each site to work with local regulators to understand, monitor and control
community impact and to respond to complaints or enquiries received from the community. Our sites are
also required to positively engage with the local community and keep records of having done so to support
the development of future engagement strategy. Sites are audited for compliance with this standard as part
of our audit program. In our Rigid Plastics business group, 74% of sites have a risk assessment in place, and
100% have active community development programs.
Stakeholder engagement is a requirement of our sites for their environmental management systems to be ISO
140010 certified. Many sites also include stakeholder communications as part of crisis response within their
business continuity plans.
Community complaints are recorded and responded to by management at the appropriate Amcor site. All
sites may have procedures in place to govern the management of complaints as part of their environmental
management systems. Any concerns are investigated and responded to by site management or the
appropriate departmental function.
Responsibility for setting and enforcing global standards lies with our Corporate Safety, Environment &
Sustainability function. Day to day operational responsibility for community engagement is undertaken by site
management.
Amcor
HAVING A POSITIVE
Our Community Program provides financial support to sites for projects aligned with the following priorities:
1. Increase access to food and essential products,
2. Reduce the environmental impacts of packaging, and
3. Educate people about how responsible packaging contributes to a more sustainable future.
Examples of work undertaken through the Community Program include:
• Over 70 co-workers from Flexibles Singapore took to kayaks and bicycles to clean up the local
waterways and raise awareness on the importance of recycling.
• Fresh lime, birch and apple trees now decorate the garden of a local children’s hospital in Novgorod,
Russia thanks to a team of volunteers from Tobacco Packaging. Over 75 trees were planted for sick
children to enjoy during their stay.
• In a second community initiative in Russia, Tobacco Packaging co-workers from St. Petersburg organised
a festive celebration and tree planting day at a local orphanage, bringing joy and nature to the children
living there.
• Co-workers from Rigid Plastics delivered the gift of light to neighbourhoods in Colombia and Ecuador.
Partnering with the “Liter of Light” Foundation, the Amcor team installed 40 self-sustaining street lights
in four cities in four days. Built using PVC pipe, plastic bottles, solar panels and high performance LED
bulbs, the street lights provide around 70,000 hours of light over their life span.
• Amcor co-workers supported a community centre in Lisbon, Portugal to assist disadvantaged families
access safe food. Amcor supplied new kitchen equipment and held workshops on food preparation and
storage, food waste reduction and healthy living.
During FY16, we spent $1.16M USD toward Community Program initiatives and sponsorships. In addition,
EC1
many Amcor locations spend additional monies toward community investments such as community event
sponsorships, food drives, and other activities in which co-workers are invested.
Outcomes of our FY16 Community Program grants include:
• 7,060 people with increased quality of living
• 5 organisations assisted to provide food and other essential products
• 225 people educated on responsible packaging or environmental issues
• 8 sites with improved environmental conditions
• 7 communities with improved recycling facilities
• 3,500 hours of community volunteering by Amcor co-workers:

Community Program project spending from FY15-FY16 has been spread throughout our areas of operation:
REGION SPENDING, COMMUNITY PROGRAM
Emerging Markets (Latin America, Asia) $648,044
North America $223,028
Australia/New Zealand $87,005
Europe $179,679
Total $1,137,756
* This number omits a minor portion of spend which is given as awards to local teams which they donate to charities of their choice.
Our central sustainability team manages four application periods per year, when co-workers from across our
global business may submit an application for Community Program funding. The co-worker’s site makes initial
payments, and then submits receipts for reimbursement along with documentation of results. This ensures
funds are spent as intended.
Partnership with the World Food Programme

In FY14 we launched a partnership with the World Food Programme. The expertise that Amcor has provided
has allowed WFP to reach more people in challenging humanitarian contexts with well-packaged, safe
and nutritious food. Recognizing the necessity of quality packaging in transporting food, WFP and Amcor
investigated ways during the first year of the partnership to optimize WFP’s packaging operations for lipid-
based nutrient supplements, blended, fortified cereal and vegetable oil. Amcor also advised WFP’s Supply
Chain Division about ways to reduce food losses and to identify quality packaging materials that will improve
shelf life.
In the second year of the partnership, a packaging specialist was recruited by WFP to assist on packaging
systems, specifications and procedures throughout the organization’s humanitarian food supply chain.
Amcor
HAVING A POSITIVE
The expert, who was brought on board through a competitive process in September 2016 with the support of
Amcor, will be engaged in projects that can have a significant impact on WFP operations and will act as the
focal point for all potential packaging issues, problem-solving any obstacles that come to light and identifying
ways for WFP to improve its packaging standards.

ECONOMIC IMPACT
• Achieve sustainable business growth
• Demonstrate best practice governance and risk management
• Contribute to local economies (wages, taxes, local suppliers, etc.)
The Board of Directors of Amcor Ltd is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board
G4-34
provides strategic guidance for the Company, and effective oversight of management. The Board guides
and monitors the business and affairs of Amcor Ltd on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected
and to whom they are accountable. Board Committees include: Audit and Compliance, Executive, Human
Resources, and Nomination. Charters and membership of each committee is available on our website.

ECONOMIC IMPACT (continued)
The Board operates in accordance with the principles set out in its Charter, which is available in the Corporate
G4-45
Governance section of Amcor’s website and summarized in our Corporate Governance statement. Please see
the Annual Report for more information about our Board of Directors.
G4-47
Our Board and senior executives have responsibility for driving and supporting risk management across
the Company. Our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program incorporates the principles of effective
risk management, as set out in the Global Risk Management Standard ISO31000. Amcor’s ERM program is
embedded in existing business processes and seeks to:
1. Enhance shareholder value by improving the probability of achieving objectives;
2. Encourage a high standard of accountability at all levels;
3. Support more effective decision making though better analysis of risk exposures;
4. Enable the Board to fulfill its governance and business requirements; and
5. Support the sign-off by management of Amcor’s compliance with the ASX Corporate Governance
Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.
Each business group then has responsibility for implementing this approach and adapting it, as appropriate,
to its own circumstances. Having an executive level Risk Champion in each business group helps ensure
a consistent approach to risk management. In addition, each year Group Risk conducts two focused risk
assessments for the Business Continuity Program.
In support of this approach our Board sets the risk appetite of the organisation to take account of safety,
environment, reputation, operational, project and corporate governance risks, in addition to strategic and
financial risks. Our assurance function, which includes the internal audit team, plays a key role in reviewing
the effectiveness of our compliance and control systems, including risk management. Findings from reviews
are communicated in formal reports to the Board and the Audit and Compliance Committee, and then
appropriate action is taken to support the maintenance of a strong control environment.

Ethics and integrity
G4-56
Amcor recognises its responsibilities as a global producer of packaging materials and services, and is
committed to being a responsible corporate citizen, having regard to the OECD Guidelines for Multinational
Enterprises. Our Corporate Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy and our Sustainability Policy can be
downloaded from: amcor.com/policies.
Our Belief Statement, Core Values and the Amcor Way operating model are described earlier in this report.
While our FY16 revenues were $9.4 billion, our operating costs were $5.5 billion. We paid $2 billion in wages
EC1
and benefits to our employees, $480M in dividends and interest, and $170M in taxes. $1.16M USD was spent
toward our Community Program activities and partnerships. This leads to $721M “economic value retained.”
Our Risk & Compliance, Legal, and Audit teams have developed a Fraud Prevention Program to prevent fraud,
detect it should any occur, and respond appropriately. This approach is based on the Open Compliance and
Ethics Group’s (OECG) GRC Capability Model.

Stakeholder engagement and materiality assessment

Report content is driven by stakeholder engagement and determined using both internal and external
G4-18
processes, including determining material topics and prioritisation. Our Corporate Safety, Environment, and
Sustainability function determines the content of the report. We referred to GRI’s Guidance on Defining
Report Content when determining the content for this report, following the steps described below:
Step 1: Identifying relevant topics
Our stakeholders are those who have a direct relationship to, or are impacted by, our business. They include
G4-24
investors and suppliers of capital, co-workers, customers and suppliers, industry bodies, governments, the
media and the communities in which we operate.
Every year, Amcor conducts a materiality assessment to identify material issues through the following actions,
aligned with the principles of the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard:
G4-25
• Input from the Sustainability Leaders within each Amcor Business
• Analysing the public documents released by stakeholder organisations
• Identifying the social, environmental and economic aspects associated with Amcor’s current business
plans, strategy, risks and opportunities.
• *Every third year only: Interviewing representatives of the stakeholder groups who have a direct
G4-26
relationship to, or are impacted by, the economic, social and environmental impacts of our operations for
the explicit purpose of conducting a materiality assessment, as opposed to our regular interactions in the
course of doing business
In FY16, our assessment focused on co-workers, customers, and suppliers.
This process generates a list of issues that reflect our significant economic, environmental and social impacts
as well as topics that would substantively influence the assessments and decisions of stakeholders. We then
compared the list against the sustainability-related risks and opportunities identified by Amcor’s Enterprise
Risk Management (ERM) program. Any issues that had not been identified by the ERM program were fed
back into it for future consideration by our businesses, thereby enhancing the rigour of our approach to
sustainability and its integration with the ERM program.
The key topics and concerns raised by stakeholders are incorporated into our materiality assessment process.
G4-27
The relevant sections of this report will share how we respond operationally to highly material issues.
Amcor
APPENDIX 2
(continued)
Step 2: Prioritisation
Each issue was scored according to the strength of the stakeholder’s publicly stated goals around the issue.
Step 3: Validation
Using the final list of prioritised issues, we mapped the highly material issues to the appropriate GRI Aspect,
as per the GRI reporting protocol. We selected indicators within each GRI Aspect that best matched our
prioritised issues and that ensured completeness of the report.
The following table lists the issues determined to be highly material by our 2016 materiality process.
Appropriate G4 Aspects are also listed as well as the internal and external boundaries for each aspect as it
pertains to our value chain. Note the definitions of the following terms:
Internal:

APPENDIX 4
How we calculate our emissions
Amcor calculates Scope 3 GHG emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol; Corporate Value Chain
(Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard. Scope 3 GHG emissions are defined as all other indirect
emissions that occur in a company’s value chain. The GHG Protocol Standard includes 15 categories of scope
3 GHG emissions which organisations are required to report. Amcor has assessed each of the categories and
reports on the following Scope 3 GHG emission categories:
• Purchased goods and services
• Fuel and energy related activities
• Upstream transportation and distribution
• Waste generated in operations
The following categories have been assessed as either immaterial in regards to emissions calculations or not
applicable to our business:
• Capital goods
• Business travel
• Employee commuting
• Upstream leased assets
• Processing of sold products
• Downstream transportation and distribution
• Use of sold products
• End-of-life treatment of sold products
• Downstream leased assets
• Franchises
• Investments
For Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions, CO2 is the predominant gas included in the calculation as it is from combustion
of fuels, but emissions factors may include small amounts of CH4 and N2O. We do not report biogenic CO2
emissions separately from the gross direct (Scope 1) GHG emissions.
Amcor
APPENDIX 4
(continued)
Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions are calculated based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate
Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition). Global Scope 1 emission factors for fuel combustion
are based on the WRI GHG protocol; Australian emissions factors are based on the National Greenhouse
Accounts Factors 2015. Other Scope 1 emission factors are estimated assuming complete chemical reaction.
Scope 2 emission factors for most countries are sourced from the International Energy Agency CO2 Emissions
from Fuel Combustion (2012 Edition). For Australia,
Scope 2 emissions factors are sourced from the National Greenhouse Accounts Factors 2015 at a state level,
and for the USA Scope 2 emission factors are sourced from the EPA e-GRID 2015 tool at a regional grid
level. Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions are calculated based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate
Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition).
Emissions are consolidated from entities over which Amcor has operational control. We are impacted by
carbon tax and emissions trading schemes around the world, including the European Union’s
Emissions Trading Scheme, the ‘Climate Change Agreements’ program in the UK, the ‘Covenants’ program in
Belgium and the official environmental programs in Switzerland. We also pay carbon taxes in any countries
where they are applicable. We do not use emission offsets to meet our reduction targets, as we prefer to use
resources to directly reduce our own emissions.
Material categories for Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions reporting are determined using the
Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard.
Amcor
APPENDIX 5
Restatements of information: Each year, we adjust our FY11 baseline year data for greenhouse gas emissions,
G4-22
waste to landfill, and water use to include acquired sites. If the acquired site is able to provide data back to
the FY11 baseline year for energy use, waste generated, raw material consumption, and water usage, this data
is added to our environmental database. If acquired sites do not have existing data when integration begins,
we wait until we have 12 months of data before the sites are integrated into our reporting. We use these 12
months of data to estimate historical data back to our FY11 baseline year.
Beginning in FY16, we include safety data from acquisitions from the first day of ownership. In December 2013
we demerged our Australasian and Packaging Distribution business, now Orora Limited, and the safety data
from this business has been excluded from FY13 and beyond.
The Precautionary Principle, as defined in the 1992 UN Rio Declaration, states, “Where there are threats of
G4-14
serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing
cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation.” The Rio Declaration has informed our
approach to environmental management.

Besides assuring that contents safely reach their

practices, and minimizing waste. As the world

population continues to grow, these principles

are increasingly important.

environment all hold stakes in what Amcor does

and how we do it. All of them have interests in

how we approach occupational health and safety,

sustainable sourcing, product quality, carbon

emissions, and waste.

Packaging waste includes the loss of resources

when packaging is not recovered or recycled,

as well as marine debris and litter. According

to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s report

“New Plastics Economy: Rethinking the Future

"Leadership in the global of Plastics,” as much as $120 billion worth of

plastic packaging material is lost to the economy
