19 Supplier Perspective: Amcor Rigid Plastics Amcor management is committed to the idea that being recognized as its customers Most Reliable, Best Organized Supplier is a differentiator and a COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. Amcor s Quality System has been based for 12 years on Proactive Third Party Auditing, and according to customers already Certified to a GFSI Benchmarked Audit Scheme, was already operating as GFSI compliant. Amcor is currently certifying over 70 sites in the Americas to FSSC / PAS 223, beginning in April and to be completed in calendar 2012 (!). Amcor believes that GFSI compliant systems, GMP, and HACCP programs apply to all sectors of its business: Beverage, Food, Care, Pharma... August 2011 Voice of the Customer Survey highlights awareness and Perceived Value of certifying to a GFSI Benchmarked Scheme 19

20 Awareness of GFSI Initiative Q. Are you aware of the GFSI initiative? 24 Respondents I m in food safety, so we re certified in all the facilities. We re working with our suppliers on following the same initiatives as we are. 50% 50% Yes No First, we re looking at ingredients. Packaging will follow, so we ll expect our vendors to be certified by the end of next year We re SQF level 3 certified and currently looking at the new regulations to see where we need to be in compliance. We re going through the certification process right now. 20

21 Importance of GFSI Certification Q. How important is it for your strategic suppliers to be certified to a GFSI benchmarked standard? Q. Would a supplier who has GFSI certification by 2012 have an advantage in competing for new business opportunities? 20% Very Important 29% Yes 80% 71% Not at All No Our customers are asking for that. For a primary packaging company like Amcor, very important. I can t quite speak to that contractually, but I can say that it would most likely make a difference in the future. 21
