Strategic focus: As we navigate an increasingly complex operating environment, embedding integrated thinking into our business has become more important than ever. The interconnectedness of the six capitals impacts the way we do business and, ultimately, drives our performance to sustain our purpose. Our business model is shaped by our strategy, stakeholders, material risks and external environment.

Social and relationship capital

At PPC, we consider our customers, communities, suppliers and other stakeholders as business partners. By being dynamic and responsive, we can strengthen our relationships with our communities and invest in meaningful initiatives that advance customer excellence and supplier experience. Being a responsible corporate citizen is part of our DNA.

Human capital

Our people are our strength. We empower them by creating a safe, healthy, rewarding and meaningful working environment that allows us to deliver on our purpose. With a personal growth and performance-driven mentality, PPC creates opportunities and provides resources to our employees that enable them to commit to the success of PPC.

Financial capital

We actively manage the pool of funds entrusted to us by our shareholders and lenders, diligently allocating and investing these funds in a way that enhances our financial processes and disciplines to support our operations and create value for all our stakeholders.

Natural capital

Our commitment to operating a sustainable business includes our efforts to reduce the impact we have on the environment in the regions where we operate. The nature of our business is such that we depend on certain natural resources, and we are ensuring that we use these resources responsibly. We remain focused on reducing carbon footprint, managing air quality and water resources, as well as proactive land and resource stewardship.
