Sustainability Strategy
As a leading manufacturer of high-performance films and packaging solutions, as well as custom compounds, we feel it is our duty to make our company, processes, and products as sustainable as possible. Sustainability Leadership means that we consistently view leadership and sustainability from an ecological, economic, and social perspective, and, as a result, introduce transformative innovations to the market for a better future. Although this transformation process presents challenges, it also offers opportunities to advance our organization and create new business models. For these reasons, Sustainability Leadership is one of the strategic building blocks in our 2030 Corporate Strategy.
The core of the SÜDPACK Sustainability Strategy consists of three key areas: circular economy, climate protection, and social responsibility. We refer to our sustainability visions, which contribute to Sustainability Leadership, as “ambitions”. Our seven ambitions in these three areas inspire us daily and serve as the foundation for the projects we pursue with dedication.
In the area of the circular economy, these ambitions are Sustainable Products, ZERO WASTE and Leader in Circular Economy. For climate protection, we are concentrating on NET ZERO, with Energy Management and Resource Efficiency playing key roles. When it comes to our social responsibility, Zero Accidents, Motivated Organization, and Sustainable Supply Chain are among our most important goals.
For us, operationalizing sustainability means project work. Accordingly, we align our pioneering projects with the relevant segments of our operational framework and our seven core ambitions. Each project is supported by various initiatives, all of which are based on specific KPIs and goals set for 2030.
We believe that advanced technologies enabling efficient resource management and the creation of sustainable products are key to achieving our circular economy goals. At the same time, we are focusing our efforts on PPWR-compliant packaging solutions for the European market, the resource efficiency of our products, waste reduction, and the utilization of production waste.
We are also actively committed to climate protection – we are working to reduce our environmental footprint in line with the SBTi targets and are pursuing key projects relating to renewable resources and material efficiency.
At the social level, our focus is not only on our own workforce – who benefit from a well-designed work environment and comprehensive safety measures – but also on ensuring transparency within our supply chain.
