Our Purpose defines who we are as a company and forms the foundation of our business. Our Purpose enables us to deliver customer innovation, provide an inspirational environment for our people and drive our business through growth and development.

The future we’re creating for AMP is built around our four Core Values of Inclusion, Trust, Teamwork and Excellence.

Our Code of Conduct

We are committed to always doing business the right way. We operate with the highest standards of integrity and honesty and comply with all applicable laws and regulations in all dealings within our business, with others (including customers, suppliers and public authorities), and with the communities in which we operate. Our Code of Conduct sets out the framework for achieving our commitment to acting with integrity. It sets out principles and clear expectations about what we consider acceptable behaviours.

Built around our Purpose - We make packaging for good - and our Core Values of Inclusion, Trust, Teamwork and Excellence, our Code of Conduct is central to our business. It applies to all colleagues in all their actions and dealings, and it guides them in conducting business in a compliant, honest and professional manner. The key principles are covered in four sections:

  • We value our people and their safety – detailing our commitment to ensuring our employees and any third parties are safe in our workplace. We are committed to ensuring that our workplaces are spaces where people enjoy coming to work and can go safely home afterwards, and where everyone is treated with fairness and respect.
  • We act ethically and with integrity – detailing our expectations that we act ethically and with the highest standards of integrity and honesty.
  • We protect our business - detailing how we protect our assets, including our physical assets, information technology systems and our information, which form the foundation of our business and support our work every day.
  • We care for our environment and communities – detailing our commitment to caring for the environment and our communities – including promoting healthy and safe environments, employing sustainable processes and interacting with our communities and society in general - which is a central consideration of everything that we do.

Benefits of metal packaging

Metal beverage packaging is universally recognised for its protective qualities, versatility and environmental credentials. Metal is a permanent material, meaning it can be infinitely recycled without any loss of quality. Metal beverage cans are one of the most recycled drinks package in the world, contributing to a circular economy.

Metal can packaging offers versatility, unlimited design and brand building opportunities like no other material and is used across the world in many market sectors. Constantly evolving production technologies are used to ensure exciting possibilities and environmental sustainability in metal beverage packaging for the future.

Sustainable metal beverage packaging

AMP is a leader in sustainable, value-added, infinitely recyclable metal beverage can packaging solutions. Metal beverage cans are the ideal example of a circular economy, with recycled cans being able to return to retail shelves in their original form in approximately 60 days. We build upon the inherent environmental advantages of metal beverage cans by clearly supporting our customer’s sustainability platforms.

This reduces our impact on the environment, and improves the communities in which we do business. In 2020, we launched our new sustainability strategy to reinforce our commitment to the circular economy. As part of our strategy, we have mapped out ambitious commitments and targets for the next decade. To read more about our new targets, please click here for our 2023 Sustainability Report.
