Our Sustainability Vision
A Persistent Pursuit of a Better Tomorrow, Today
MCC works every single day towards sustainable development that helps build a brighter future for all. Our customers’ growing demand for a sustainable approach is getting louder each day. Therefore, we commit ourselves to minimize environmental impact and develop sustainable label solutions that meet the needs of our customers and partners within the value chain. Based on our corporate values of integrity, passion, creativity, perseverance and achievement, we describe here how we work towards this every single day. We spoke with three MCC key figures and assessed their vision on sustainability, and all things sustainable in the personal care & beauty space. Q: Sustainability is an allencompassing concept. What does sustainability mean to MCC and where does MCC put the emphasis? SB: The best definition of sustainability is meeting the needs of all our stakeholders without compromising the ability of future generations to meet Dr. Stijn Billiet their own needs. We are not only Global Director Sustainability limiting this to the environmental side, but equally important is the social, economic and governance aspect. In 2020 we unified this into our sustainability vision. The simple statement “At MCC we CARE about a better tomorrow, today” embodies what we try to do daily at MCC. We continuously strive for sustainable development that delivers shared value and helps build a better future for all. CARE is also an acronym for our four main pillars within sustainability.

The first pillar is Collaborate. This means that we engage with multiple stakeholder partners throughout the value chain who are aiming for a sustainable future. Secondly, we have Act. We want to lead by taking action to optimize our supply chain and production process. We will use a continuous improvement approach in each facility globally with clear and transparent reporting about our KPI goals and progress made. Act is followed by the third pillar, Resolve. We want to offer label solutions that meet today’s sustainability needs. By understanding our customers’ goals, we offer the optimal label solution that is also the most sustainable. We end up with the fourth pillar, Engage. At the core of our business are the people we interact with every day. We know that our people are our greatest asset as they are the key ingredient in making us more sustainable, which is one of our most important competitive advantages.
