Amcor and the Earthwatch Institute

Illustrating Amcor's commitment to the environment and sustainability, a partnership has been formed with the Earthwatch Institute to create the Amcor/Earthwatch Global Employee Fellowship Program.

Earthwatch Institute is a unique organisation that promotes sustainable conservation by creating a partnership with scientists, the public, educators and business.It directly involves the public in scientific field research, and this year will support more than 140 expeditions in over 40 countries on six continents.

Amcor is committed to supporting Earthwatch field research by sponsoring five employees from around the Amcor group to participate in environmental programs. Each project is different, but all involve a range of tasks such as observing and recording data, collecting samples, photography and cataloguing materials.

As well as conducting valuable field research, the initiative also provides Amcor's people with the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of environmental issues and expand their own personal and professional development. Some examples of the employees selected this year include:

• A Forklift Operator at Fibre Containers in Queensland, Australia, who will be going to Southern Chile to study the river otters of the area which are in danger of extinction;
• An Administrator at Amcor Containers Packaging Asia in Thailand who will participate in the Rainforests of Northern Australia project, monitoring the unique ecosystem of the area.
