The National Packaging Covenant (NPC) has a new website.
For the first time, all information about the NPC and related activities is on one site in a much more user-friendly format, including:
• list of signatories
• registered action plans and annual reports
• completed and current covenant projects
• forthcoming events
• covenant annual reports
• newsletters
• user feedback
The NPC welcomes feedback or suggestions on the website, including how the quality and flow of information between the NPC and its stakeholders can be improved.
Covenant communication
Another key focus for the NPC Secretariat is the development and implementation of a comprehensive communications strategy.
The broad aim of the strategy is to establish a framework for targeted communications to the full range of NPC stakeholders and the broader community.
It will integrate the current modes of communication and develop ways for expanding and refining these over the next three years.
The NPC aims to regularly provide clear, concise and accurate information on the its activities and, more importantly, its achievements.
The strategy aims not only to increase the awareness and understanding of the importance of the NPC, but also to reinforce the commitment of the packaging industry and governments to the NPC process.
2006/07 reporting period
The annual reports 2006/07 of all NPC signatories are due no later than October 31st, 2007.
Industry signatories should also note that a core requirement of annual reporting is to complete the Industry Data Aggregation System (IDAS).
All the details can be found on the NPC website.
Companies experiencing problems completing their IDAS or annual reports are advised to contact the Secretariat.
Evolution Awards
The NPC would like to congratulate all the finalists in the 2007 Packaging magazine Evolution Awards and wish them all success at the presentation breakfast on September 12th, 2007 (tomorrow morning).
The awards are an innovative program to recognise and reward excellence in packaging waste management by NPC signatories.
Importantly they focus on actual results achieved, not just the actions being undertaken.
The NPC supports the concept behind the Evolution Awards and looks forward to many more years of acknowledging the commitment and achievements of NPC signatories.
For more information, contact the Secretariat.
