OMP’s Unison Planning™ for Packaging

Sustainability and profitability no longer have to compete. VPK Group, a pioneer in sustainable corrugated packaging, is proving that smart supply chain planning can reduce both carbon emissions and operational costs. With OMP’s Green Planning framework, VPK is turning data into greener decisions.

Building a smarter, greener supply chain

VPK is transforming its supply chain by embedding carbon footprint data directly into sourcing and production choices. Using OMP’s Green Planning framework, the company can balance cost, service, and sustainability across its global operations. At the core of this transformation is Unison Planning™, OMP’s end-to-end planning platform. Acting as a digital twin of the supply chain, it enables real-time scenario planning, simulations, and sustainability impact analysis. This empowers VPK to plan with precision, act with speed, and grow responsibly.

Real solutions. Real results.

With OMP’s Green Planning framework, VPK can now:
    • Monitor sustainability KPIs with intuitive dashboards
    • Optimize sourcing and logistics based on emissions data
    • Simulate greener production scenarios
    • Choose suppliers with lower verified emissions

On track to achieve 2030 climate targets

The impact is tangible. By integrating carbon intelligence into every planning step, VPK aligns operational efficiency with environmental goals. As Kevin De Winter, Group Procurement Manager at VPK, puts it: “When suppliers match in cost and quality, we go with the one with the lowest proven emissions. Our target is to cut 4.2% of product emissions and 52% of upstream Scope 3 emissions by 2030.”
