Diamond Greenbox Initiative

Diamond is committed to working toward a cleaner environment. We developed our Diamond Greenbox sustainability initiative to research, design, and implement packaging solutions that are innovative and more sustainable.

The core of the initiative – designs, materials, and methods – represents a comprehensive approach to packaging that minimizes environmental impact throughout the supply chain.

Through creative design, careful material selection, and best practices at the plant level, Diamond is able to minimize waste, reduce shipping costs and increase efficiencies – all of which support a sustainable use of resources and cultivate a positive emotional connection to the brand.

Designs

Our designers create packaging that is both innovative and sustainable, while considering factors such as product protection, usability, billboard space, and first moment of truth (FMOT).

Materials

Diamond carefully evaluates materials and suppliers to make the best recommendation for our customers’ products.

Methods

From concept to completion, our approach to package design addresses sustainability throughout the supply chain. This includes incorporating best practices at the plant level: renewable energy, energy efficiency, process improvements, and waste recycling.

Sustainability Recognition

Diamond's industry-leading sustainability initiatives have been recognized by trade organizations, customers, and non-profit organizations (NPOs).

Tell Your Environmental Story

Through On-Product Labeling

Our experienced and talented staff has the skills and expertise you can trust with your brand. They successfully build the bridge between the creative design and the final product, ensuring that the package comes to life in the retail environment.

They will also advise you on the proper implementation of environmental or sustainability-related symbols and artwork, including:

• Recyclable / Recycled logos
• FSC label
• Carton Made with Wind Energy logo

Diamond's 'Green Team'

Diamond’s ‘Green Team’ meets on a regular basis to assess progress and determine short-term goals, including achieving greater manufacturing efficiencies (and the resultant decreased energy demands), and long-term goals, including more comprehensive tracking of Scope 3 emissions with the aim of decreasing or offsetting them.

We have set an absolute target of a 2% reduction in electricity consumption (and corresponding GHG emissions) per year for the next 10 years (20% total reduction), based on a 2011 baseline. We have also set an intensity target of a 1% reduction in Scope 1 + Scope 2 emissions (per unit of production) per year for the next 10 years (10% total reduction).

This will be achieved through more efficient production processes and energy-saving methods.
