In 2023, lightweight packaging producer Ecolean continued its journey towards a more sustainable future, achieving significant milestones aligned with its science-based targets and the Paris Agreement. DRIVING PROGRESS IN SIX KEY AREAS Throughout the year, Ecolean focused on six critical sustainability areas: Safe food for all, Less food waste, Climate action, Towards circularity, Transparency through a life-cycle approach, and Fair, equal, and inclusive practices. This comprehensive approach underscores our commitment to creating a positive impact across the entire value chain. REDUCING CLIMATE FOOTPRINT Ecolean has made notable progress in reducing the climate footprint of its operations. A key achievement in 2023 was the reduction of goods sent by air and the introduction of a fully electric truck for nearly all container transports between our Helsingborg plant and the harbour. These initiatives contribute significantly to our overall emission reduction goals. 100 PERCENT RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR THE FOURTH YEAR For the fourth year in a row, Ecolean sourced 100 percent renewable electricity for all our production sites worldwide. This achievement is a testament to our ongoing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support sustainable energy practices. FULL TRANSPARENCY WITH EPDs In line with our commitment to transparency, Ecolean established and published individual Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for all our packaging solutions and production sites in 2023. These EPDs provide essential information on the environmental impact of our products, from cradle to grave. ECOLEAN STRATEGY PLAN 2028 In 2023, we launched the Ecolean Strategy plan 2028, setting a clear direction for the next five years. Sustainability is a central pillar of this strategy, aligned with the UN Roadmap 2030. This plan emphasizes the importance of transparency, innovative solutions, and a commitment to reducing our environmental footprint. AMBITIOUS 2030 TARGETS DRIVE SUSTAINABILITY Ecolean’s dedication to sustainability is evident in our ambitious 2030 targets. These include switching to more sustainable raw materials, reducing emissions in line with the Paris Agreement, partnering to improve recycling infrastructure in all our markets, and fostering a fair, equal, and inclusive workplace. Looking Ahead As the packaging industry continue to evolve and innovate, Ecolean remains committed to take significant steps towards a sustainable future.
