Sustainability publications

Our new Sustainability Report 2024 is here! A significant step forward in how we share our progress and ambitions. And this edition is a special one.

For the first time, we report largely in line with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This brings greater transparency and structure to our sustainability journey. In additon, our figures under ESRS E1 (Climate) and E3 (Water) have been externally verified, reinforcing the credibility of our data and our commitment to full compliance by 2028.

Key highlights from the 2024 report:

• Renewable energy: 37% of our energy now comes from renewable sources — on track to reach 50% by 2030.
• CO₂ reduction: We’ve achieved a clear decrease in carbon intensity across all sites.
• Raw materials: 98% of the materials we use are renewable. Our paper production is 100% based on recycled fibers and FSC®-certified.
• Packaging: The share of recycled fibers in our packaging increased from 87% in 2022 to 90% in 2024.
• Water management: Efficiency measures led to a 15% reduction in water withdrawal at our paper mills, moving us closer to our target of 6 m³ per ton of paper produced.

At VPK, sustainability is more than a goal. It's part of our DNA. We continue to invest in innovation, reduce our ecological footprint, and empower our people to shape the future of packaging. With a long-term vision and a strong sense of responsibility, we remain committed to doing better, every day.
