Sustainability as a Key to Success

Sustainability is not only at the core of our actions, but also a driver of growth and a guarantor of values.

The SÜDPACK Group is firmly committed to a sustainable organizational structure and to the protection of people and the environment. The foundation for this is our 2030 Sustainability Strategy, which follows a holistic approach: ecological, economic, and social. Across all areas. At all levels. And along the entire supply chain.

Our goal is sustainability leadership. In the field of sustainability, we aim to achieve market leadership in our industry. In the truest sense, sustainability is a key component—not just for today, but also for the future direction of our company group.

To the 2024 Sustainability Report

SÜDPACK earns the EcoVadis Platinum medal in 2025 – placing the film manufacturer among the top 1% of all companies rated by EcoVadis. Achieving Platinum status confirms that sustainability and corporate responsibility are deeply embedded across the entire company group and its value chain. It also reflects SÜDPACK’s concrete sustainability goals.
