SÜDPACK’s Sustainability Strategy is built around three key areas of action: Circular Economy, Climate and Nature, and Social Responsibility. We refer to our sustainability visions, which contribute to Sustainability Leadership, as “ambitions”. Guided by the principle of Sustainability Leadership, we aim to balance environmental and social responsibility, economic performance, and customer value.
Our eight ambitions in these three areas inspire us daily and serve as the foundation for the projects we pursue with dedication.
Within the Circular Economy area of action, these ambitions are Sustainable Products, Zero Waste and Leader in Circular Economy. In Climate and Nature, we focus on Emission Reduction and Nature Protection, with energy management also playing an important role. Our key goals within Social Responsibility are Zero Accidents, Motivated Organization, and Sustainable Supply Chain.
The circular economy is a key pillar of our Sustainability Strategy and is becoming increasingly important as regulatory requirements evolve and technology advances. Our goal is to use raw materials as efficiently as possible and keep plastic, a valuable raw material, in circulation. To achieve this, we consistently focus on material reduction, optimizing packaging designs, and developing innovative material structures. A particular focus is on improving the circularity of our solutions through Design for Recycling, so that plastics and plastic waste can be recycled to a high standard and used as raw materials for new products. In this way, we actively support the transition to a functioning circular economy while also helping to meet the requirements of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
As a family-owned company with a long-term perspective, we view climate protection as our fundamental responsibility to current and future generations. It is therefore a key pillar of our Sustainability Strategy. Our goal is to continuously reduce greenhouse gas emissions, use energy efficiently, and advance solutions with the lowest possible CO2e footprint across the entire value chain. We take a holistic approach to Climate and Nature, combining our efforts to reduce CO₂e emissions, adapt to climate change, and advance circular product development with measures to protect biodiversity, water resources, and healthy ecosystems.
As an employer, business partner, and member of society, we take responsibility for the people we work with every day. Our employees are fundamental to our success, while strong, trust-based business relationships are essential to our future. We therefore promote a safe and healthy working environment, fair working and business conditions, and an open corporate culture built on respect and appreciation. Diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity are integral to our approach, alongside initiatives that support our employees and help them balance work and family life. As part of our Sustainable Supply Chain ambition, all suppliers are required to meet minimum standards for human and labor rights, environmental protection, and quality. Compliance with these standards is reviewed annually through self-assessments and risk evaluations.
