Bringing sustainability in packaging to the next level
Lucas Lammers, CEO: “We are moving from compliance to purpose. Every day, valuable products and resources are lost on their journey through the supply chain. As a manufacturer and distributor of flexible transport packaging, we protect valuable goods from going to waste during transportation and storage. Safeguarding their economic, environmental and social investment. We can also design our packaging in such a way as to eliminate packaging waste and other negative environmental and social impacts related to our packaging.
We are very proud that EcoVadis has recognized the steps we are taking. This Platinum rating truly is a reward for the vision and efforts we have shown in the field of CSR worldwide and complements our extensive portfolio of certificates and standards. We continue to look for opportunities to further contribute to the well-being of people and the environment.”
