Committed to setting the standard in quality, innovation and traceability, Cepac is renowned for its extensive packaging portfolio. Customers include leading international brands across FMCG, food and drink, pharmaceuticals and retail.

Through its collaboration with Shell Energy, the company aims to continue to reduce its environmental impact and reliance on non-renewable utility supply. With sustainability considered a key business priority, it is progressively transitioning to electric vehicles and has invested in solar PV technology. Cepac is also working on initiatives including energy efficient motors and LED lighting, supporting its sustainable, recycled product ranges.

Simon Lilley, group accountant and treasurer at Cepac, commented: ‘As a key player in the critical packaging supply chain, we are proud to operate at the forefront of the industry. While we are already embracing widespread sustainability initiatives across the organisation, finding innovative solutions to further improve our green credentials and decarbonise our operations is hugely important.

‘When it came to renewing our energy contract, we took it as an opportunity to embrace 100% renewable supply. We wanted to find a long term partner that could support us in the transition to net carbon neutral and support us in realising our future green energy ambitions.

‘Our agreement with Shell Energy is a true partnership. From day one, the team has taken a real interest in our energy strategy and how they can help to decarbonise operations. I am excited for the future – this collaboration will prove a real game changer for us.’

Greg Kavanagh, sales director at Shell Energy, added: ‘Rather than simply a transactional agreement, we take pride in working closely with our customers to understand their energy strategies and provide long term consultative support as their businesses continue to evolve.
