Sustainability based on sustainable values

For Emballator sustainability is based on the Group’s shared ambition of developing packaging solutions for future generations.

The goal is that a packaging from Emballator, either if it is made in plastic, tinplate, or aluminium, should be material optimized and recycled when it is no longer needed. Sustainability is given in all the companies within Emballator and is based on the values in the Green Bag.

Emballators Code of Conduct is the foundation for sustainability and permeates the whole business. From the health and safety of employees, to care for the environment and climate, and new product innovations. That sustainability and innovation belongs together, is something that the Emballator Group is focusing on.

We are dedicated to improving our sustainability and are rated EcoVadis Platinum in UK and EcoVadis Gold in Metal Group and Lagan.
