PKN talks... promoting diversity in packaging leadership with Amcor Flexible's Carissa Bahr and Greg Suzor.

In this episode, Lindy Hughson, managing editor & publisher of PKN Packaging News talks to two representatives of Amcor Flexibles Asia Pacific – ANZ, Carissa Bahr, ANZ safety environment manager, and Greg Suzor, operations manager. The conversation covers Amcor’s support of the inaugural PKN Women in Packaging Awards for 2024.

We discuss Amcor’s reason for sponsoring the awards, how they are fostering diversity in leadership, and the dynamic nature of mentoring. We get an insight into the types of support individuals in their teams require, how they acquire new talent, and what can be done to encourage more women to join the packaging industry. We also celebrate success stories within their ranks.

We wrap up by reviewing the benefits that the awards provide the industry and its members, and get an insight into the planned schedule for the event, with the programme opening for entries on 18 March.

Food & Drink Business

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.  

The winners of the 62nd annual Australian Export Awards were announced in Canberra yesterday, featuring three winners from the food sector – including dessert manufacturer Frosty Boy Global, in the Agribusiness, Food and Beverages category.

Mondelēz International has appointed Toby Smith as President Japan, Australia and New Zealand, with the incumbent, Darren O’Brien, appointed Global Chief Corporate and Government Affairs officer.
