10th May 2018I think that for all participating organisations the initiative is a commendable item of good governance and if this translates into a positive reputation, good! However, I do think there is much that for organisations whose business model is based upon single use containers and wrappings, there is much else that needs to be done to promote multi use containers and to signal to their customers that the littering of their discarded containers and wrappings is totally unacceptable!
