Action Plans 

The action plan is the basis of a Signatory's involvement in the NPC. It will contribute to the Covenant’s goals and targets and make a difference to how we minimise the environmental impacts of packaging. If Signatories do not take the time to prepare an action plan which is suitable and beneficial to the business they will find annual reporting difficult and will not find the Covenant of benefit in the long run. It is important from the beginning that Signatories are clear about the actions they are going to take and that they ensure they have targets to report against. The sources of information that can be used to make an action plan count include;  
  • The principles of product stewardship (section 4 in the Covenant)
  • The roles and undertakings of Covenant Signatories (section 5 in the Covenant)
  • The Environmental Code of Practice for Packaging (ECoPP) (Schedule 5 in the Covenant)
  • The KPI’s (schedule 2 in the Covenant)
The action plan can be as short or long as a company chooses to make it as long as all the relevant criteria are addressed. The main point to remember is that the Covenant should not be seen as a chore. It should be integrated into processes and tasks that already exist in the business. Action plans should cover a minimum of the following;
  • Information about what the business does, the size and structure
  • What brands the business owns if any
  • What type of packaging the business uses
  • Product Stewardship
  • KPI’s
  • Environmental Code of Practice for Packaging (ECoPP)
  • A Covenant Contact
  • Executive Sign Off
  • Actions which will contribute to the Covenants Goals and Targets
  • Span over 3 – 5 years
For more information about what is required in the action plan and how to go about preparing an action plan please download our Action Plan Kit.
