  2. Our Sustainability Approach

AT STOROPACK, WE ARE ALREADY THINKING ABOUT TOMORROW, TODAY.

Sustainability is a multifaceted concept that addresses environmental, economic, and social concerns, all rooted in the shared principle of ensuring that the well-being of future generations equals or surpasses our own. At Storopack, our overarching objective is to satisfy today’s needs without compromising the prospects of tomorrow. Our sustainability approach comprises three areas that are highlighted here.

OUR THREE FOCUS AREAS

OUR SOLUTIONS

We present our philosophy, which we aim to observe and try to implement in the development of every new product. This philosophy comprises the 4Rs. They stand for Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Renew. We underpin this philosophy with solutions from our portfolio.

MESSAGE OF CHARLES POISSON, HEAD OF SUSTAINABILITY

“Our aim is to ensure the preservation of our environment for our children and future generations through conscious actions. As Head of Sustainability at Storopack Group, I feel honored to be able to support this process, proud of the achievements we have made so far, and excited for what the future holds. Sustainability is not a new concept for our company. We have been involved in the development of more sustainable products for many years and see this as part of our corporate identity. For us, sustainability is not just a trend, but an integral part of how we do business and create value for our customers and stakeholders. 

We want to continuously reduce the environmental footprint of our packaging solutions and improve the right packaging at the right place where it is needed. Our perfect protective packaging is intended to support and not to harm. That is why we work on our design and manufacturing innovation to help to move towards a more sustainable future.

We are on track to manufacture at least 50% of the products we produce ourselves from recycled or renewable raw materials by 2025. The results so far are very promising and we have a clear plan to build on this momentum and continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in sustainable packaging. Since our last report, we have made progress in defining the targets and KPIs that we will evaluate to maintain our focus and ensure that we meet – and in many cases exceed - future needs, regulations, and customer expectations. 

Our basis for this is to make decisions based on facts and communicate them as transparently as possible ensuring that we always avoid greenwashing. As we continue to make practical progress, our approach to sustainability is becoming more embedded across the whole business. We know that ecological and social sustainability go hand in hand.
