Dear shareholders,
)LVFDO ZDV D GH QLQJ \HDU IRU $PFRU RQH WKDW
marked a bold new chapter in our journey to become
the packaging partner of choice, known for sustainability,
leadership, more consistent levels of volume-driven organic
growth and attractive shareholder returns. We entered
the year with a focus on value creation through disciplined
execution and resilience and we made steady progress,
delivering volume growth and improved earnings in the
face of a challenging macroeconomic environment.

Annual Report FY25
On April 30, 2025, we successfully completed the
transformational merger with Berry Global. This strategic
merger brought together two highly complementary
businesses to create one of the industry s most
comprehensive, multi-format portfolios of primary packaging
solutions for nutrition, health, beauty and wellness. We
closed the transaction ahead of schedule and are deeply

in navigating complexity and delivering this milestone in
under six months from announcement. Their dedication
and professionalism has laid the foundation for a more
agile, innovative and competitive Amcor. Heading into
Fiscal 2026, integration is well underway with substantial
cost and revenue synergies within our control.
SAFETY, CULTURE AND INTEGRATION
Our people remain at the heart of everything we do.
Our unwavering commitment to safety continues to be
a cornerstone of our culture. In Fiscal 2025, Amcor s
legacy operations achieved a total recordable incident
rate of 0.27, with 68% of our sites operating injuryfree for the entire year, which is a testament to our
relentless focus on creating a safe, inclusive and highperforming workplace. As we welcome more than
30,000 new colleagues from Berry, we are committed
to building on our combined strong safety track record
as we pursue our ultimate goal of zero injuries.
We continued to invest in leadership development,
training and employee engagement, reinforcing our
commitment to building a strong and agile organization.

perspectives, deep experience and shared dedication to
excellence will further strengthen our strategic position.
Their integration marks an exciting step forward, and we
look forward to the innovation and collaboration that
will help drive long-term value for our shareholders.

relevant. Our R&D strength includes more than 1,500
