We are on a journey toward carbon neutrality by 2040 and are continuously investing in cleaner and more efficient technologies.
What we have achieved so far:
We use recycled PET in our substrates to encourage the sustainability and promote circular economy.
Our decorations already incorporate 30% of organic materials, contributing to a more natural and healthier environment.
We implemented RECOSYS® 2.0, an innovative system that optimizes the reuse of materials and reduces waste.
Our facilities in Germany operate with 100% renewable electricity. In Brazil, we have already reached 60% clean energy usage to power our factory.
Sustainability is not news to us. Since the 1970’s, we have adopted an environmentally responsible approach to everything we do. In the last years, we intensified our efforts to recycle more, save energy and align our processes and products to the circular economy concept.
We are among the top 35% of all assessed companies, evidencing our excellence and commitment to sustainability.

With our partners, you are also benefitted of such practices: more sustainable cycles, and innovative technologies that reduce the environmental impact without compromising the quality.
We undertook the responsibility of protecting the environment in every stage of our process. Our ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certifications reflect this commitment.
