Why this report?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\nOPACKGROUP is not subject to the CSRD reporting requirements. Nevertheless, we choose to be open and transparent. Transparency is one of the six pillars of our IMPACT strategy, and this report makes our progress accessible to customers, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders. Something we are proud of!
<\/p>\n\n
The report has been prepared with reference to the GRI Standards (Global Reporting Initiative), the EcoVadis assessment criteria and the principles of ISO 26000. It also aligns with our ISO 14001-certified environmental management system, including CO\u2082 reduction management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Every initiative across the group can be linked to one of these six pillars.<\/p>\n\n
100% renewable electricity since 2015<\/h2>\n\n
All ten of our production sites have been running on 100% certified renewable electricity since 2015. This represents our largest contribution to our climate performance.
In addition, we invest in energy-efficient extrusion, converting and printing machinery. Since 2023, all new leased company cars have been plug-in vehicles, and since September 2026, all new leased company cars are fully electric.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
