Sustainability is not an option - it's our responsibility
During 2025, we made significant strides in executing our strategy leading up to 2030, solidifying sustainability as a core pillar for Nefab. Recognizing that approximately 20% of global CO2eq emissions stem from transportation, we continue to focus on a holistic approach to supply chains. Our primary focus is on increasing investments in sustainable and circualr packaging and logistics services, helping our customers achieve their sustainability targets.

ESG tegevuskava
Nefabi 2023. aastal kasutusele võetud keskkonna-, sotsiaal- ja juhtimiskava (ESG) eesmärk on suunata, seada prioriteedid ja jälgida peamiste algatuste arengut. Kasutades 2022. aastat lähteaastana, visandatakse tegevuskavas pikaajalised eesmärgid, mis ulatuvad kuni aastani 2030.
The right priorities, the right way
Real impact starts with the right priorities. At Nefab, four strategic areas guide our decisions, actions, and long-term direction: climate action, circular economy, people empowerment, and responsible business. Together, these focus areas guide our actions and decision-making, ensuring that sustainability is embedded across our operations, value chain, and long-term strategy.
Fookusvaldkond: Kliima
Climate change remains one of the most pressing global challenges, driven largely by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across value chains. Emissions arise from multiple sources, including material production, manufacturing, logistics, and product use. Addressing these emissions requires a comprehensive approach that improves resource efficiency, reduces energy use, and enables lower-impact solutions across the entire supply chain.
Fookusvaldkond: Tsirkulaarsus
Our commitment to circularity is grounded in a holistic circular economy approach, focused on material innovation, reducing operational waste, improving end-of-life, and designing packaging solutions with circularity at the core.
Fookusvaldkond: Inimesed
In 2025, Nefab successfully navigated evolving customer demands and a complex geopolitical landscape. This achievement has been made possible by the continuous strengthening of our organization and, above all, by the professionalism, commitment, and engagement of our people.
Fookusvaldkond: Vastutustundlik ettevõtlus
At Nefab, ethical business conduct is rooted in our core values of simplicity, empowerment, and respect. These principles guide how we operate across our organization and value chain and are formalized through our Code of Conduct, which sets clear expectations for integrity, respect for human rights, and zero tolerance for corruption. We expect these standards to be upheld not only within our own operations, but also throughout our supply chain and business relationships.

Nefab wins Cytiva's Innovative Spirit Award for sustainable, pallet-optimized packaging
Cytiva, a Danaher company and a global leader in healthcare equipment, recognized Nefab with its Innovative Spirit Award, honoring a solution developed through close collaboration and a shared commitment to sustainability and operational excellence. The award highlights a modular, pallet-optimized packaging system that replaces multiple box sizes and plastic fillers with one standardized carton and a paper-based insert tailored to EUR-pallet dimensions.
Turning plastic waste into shared value
In 2025, severe market disruptions, particularly within the automotive sector, put significant pressure on circularity and recycling programs across the supply chain. Against this backdrop, Nefab helped structure a strategic recovery and reuse arrangement between DENSO North America and AXJO America, demonstrating that circularity can still deliver measurable environmental and financial value, even under challenging market conditions.
Nefa and Nokia advance sustainable packaging with FiberFlute
Nefab and Nokia have worked together to develop a fiber-based packaging solution for Nokia’s 5G radio frequency (RF) modules. This design replaces traditional plastic materials with Nefab's FiberFlute cushioning, a paper-based material engineered to meet strict protection and performance requirements while significantly reducing environmental impact. The project has been recognized as a finalist for the Nokia Diamond Award 2025 in the Sustainability category for significantly reducing plastic waste and environmental impact while meeting strict protection and performance requirements.
Nefab awarded for plastic-free lighting packaging
Nefab has partnered with Signify (formerly Philips Lighting) to develop a fully fiber-based, plastic-free packaging solution for Signify’s outdoor lighting products. The new design replaces traditional EPS foam with Nefab’s proprietary corrugated structural cushioning, achieving complete plastic elimination while ensuring strong protection and performance. Thanks to its outstanding environmental impact and structural innovation, the project received the China GPA 2025 (Green Packaging Action) Award for Packaging Technology Innovation.
