Mission
ESG IMPACT IN PACKAGING
Mission
To make ESG impact in packaging measurable
and open to audit
To build the conditions for collaboration on verifiable ground: data, method, governance, and accountability.
WHY WE EXIST
The case and the compact
THE CASE
“Verified ESG impact”
ESG impact isn’t a moral badge. It’s a claim that lives or dies by data, rules, and accountability. As long as the models, the weightings, and the assumptions stay hidden, trust is just belief.
THE COMPACT
Shared costs, shared accountability
No single actor can carry transparency alone. Pro-social commitment means accepting that — and building structures where everyone contributes to making it real and keeping it that way.
SCOPE
What we measure — and what we don’t
WHAT WE MEASURE
Declared limits: we track what can be observed
We measure ESG impact where it’s possible to define clear indicators, identifiable sources, observation periods, and verification rules. We translate E, S, and G dimensions into observable quantities across the packaging supply chain.
- process and product data, with an explicit chain of custody;
- indicators tied to concrete design and management decisions;
- rules for updating results when data or methodology changes.
WHAT WE DON’T MEASURE
Intentions and reputational claims
We don’t measure intentions, slogans, or generic claims that can’t be traced to verifiable indicators. When a topic is relevant but the data isn’t yet solid, we treat it as experimental or exploratory — not as an established result.
Declaring these limits is part of the mission. Being explicit about what falls within the scope of verification — and what remains, for now, a commitment or an open question — is not a disclaimer. It’s the work.
METHOD
How we verify
Data, model, and governance are made inspectable through an independent assurance system.
Data, model, governance
Data. Every indicator has an operational definition, a source, a reference period, and control rules. Every number is defined, dated, and versioned.
Model. E, S, and G dimensions are combined through explicit weightings and thresholds. Results depend on assumptions and weightings: we declare sensitivities and limits.
Governance. Scientific review and correction policies ensure that both method and results can be challenged and updated on empirical grounds.
ESG, IN PLAIN SIGHT
A shared grammar, not a slogan
ESG is a grammar: dimensions, indicators, model, governance. Without those components, it’s just a tagline.
ESG, in plain sight (learning hub)
The ESG, in plain sight page is built around rigorous literacy: explaining why ratings may diverge, how to read a result, and what limits we acknowledge.

COSA SAPPIAMO
This page reflects the Foundation's current objectives, role, and terms of participation, based on the current version of the methodology.
COSA RESTA INCERTO
Some figures and cases are illustrative. Indicators and thresholds will evolve as the evidence base develops.
