In 2024, 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 CO2 emissions stem from transportation, we continue to focus on a holistic approach to supply chains. Our primary focus is on increasing investments in sustainable packaging and logistics services, helping our customers achieve their sustainability targets.
A major milestone reached in 2024 was the reduction of over 1.7 million tons of CO2eq in our customers’ supply chains (accumulated since 2021). In addition, we continued to actively reduce emissions within our own operations, further lowering our environmental impact.
The global packaging sector is evolving rapidly, with sustainability taking center stage. We are proactively addressing evolving regulations, including the European Union’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and expanded Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws. Preparations are also underway to adopt the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) framework starting in 2026, ensuring we remain at the forefront of compliance and transparency.
Sustainability is about delivering value to both business and to society. At Nefab we see it as win-win strategy that secures the long-term success. It’s not an option, it’s our responsibility.
Our commitment to sustainability extends across our entire organization. This year, we successfully completed our “Bring the Purpose to Life” program, training all 5,000 employees in climate change. This initiative has led to the generation of over 1,000 locally driven sustainability improvement ideas, with plans to invest in a selection of high-impact proposals.
We also strengthened our operations in 2024 by enhancing our portfolio teams, sourcing strategies, and customer segment-focused initiatives enabling us to meet evolving customer demands while driving meaningful sustainability improvements across supply chains. Strategic acquisitions, particularly in sustainable plastics packaging, expanded our expertise and efficiency, allowing us to better serve customers worldwide.
With our global reach, deep expertise, and unwavering commitment to sustainability, Nefab is uniquely positioned to create significant value—not just for our customers, but also for society and the environment. Together, we are driving impactful transformations toward a more sustainable future.
