Our governance

The governance framework for PackUK.

PackUK governance聽

A governance framework for PackUK has been developed to oversee the operations of all PackUK activities. This governance structure includes a Four Nations Ministerial Steering Board, the Scheme Administrator Executive Committee (SA ExCo) and the advisory Audit and Risk Assurance Committee. Each of these bodies will ensure an equal role for each of the four nations in PackUK decision-making.聽

SA ExCo will also be supported in their decision making by advisory bodies of experts representing the packaging value chain including:聽

  • The Scheme Administrator Steering Group;聽

  • The Recyclability Assessment Methodology Technical Advisory Committee;聽

  • The Efficiency & Effectiveness Technical Advisory Committee; and,聽

  • The Communications and Behaviour Change Advisory Group.聽

The recommendations from these groups will play a central role in guiding PackUK as it grows and develops.鈥疶hey will provide well evidenced, expert advice, guidance and recommendations to SA ExCo, but are not decision-making bodies.聽聽
