ESG: Our Roadmap to Sustainability

Our industry is undergoing a period of significant change. As the focus on sustainability intensifies, we are witnessing a shift in the regulatory landscape. Across the entire packaging value chain, evolving requirements are driving all stakeholders to adapt step by step. Embracing a spirit of shared responsibility, we believe the best course of action is to collaborate today to proactively tackle the sustainability challenges of tomorrow.

At Coveris, we are firmly committed to supporting our stakeholders in achieving their sustainability goals through a robust and responsible Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework. We view sustainability as a critical element in securing our position as a long-term leader in the packaging industry. Our actions across each of the three ESG pillars are aligned with seven of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These efforts not only guide us towards our own sustainability targets but also enable us to help our customers and partners reach theirs.

We are committed to promoting transparency and accountability in our environmental and social responsibilities. As part of this commitment, we have aligned our first sustainability report with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This approach ensures our reporting adheres to the highest regulatory standards, providing a clear and structured framework that addresses key Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors.

Using resources responsibly

Through our award-winning No Waste vision, we have set ourselves the ambitious goal of eliminating waste in all its forms - within our own operations, by continuously developing more sustainable packaging solutions, and by tackling product waste to lead the industry towards a more sustainable future.

We are committed to creating packaging that is easy to recycle, incorporates recycled materials, and is lightweight. Through strategic investments in our dedicated recycling business, ReCover, we have introduced advanced technologies and expanded our recycling capabilities to strengthen the circular economy.

Social Responsibility

Progressing Responsibly

At Coveris, our commitment to social responsibility is at the heart of everything we do.

Acting Responsibly

Our governance framework is founded on the principles of integrity, transparency, and accountability, reinforced by our Code of Conduct and supporting policies.

This framework reflects our unwavering commitment to ethical business practices and the protection of human rights across our operations and supply chain. We aim to nurture a culture where accountability is embedded at every level, ensuring that all employees uphold the highest ethical and professional standards in their day-to-day work.
