NNZ publishes Sustainability Report 2024

NNZ has released its Sustainability Report 2024, presenting an overview of the results we achieved last year and our ambitions towards 2030. The report outlines how we work step by step towards a more sustainable packaging industry. It also shares the steps we take together with customers, employees and suppliers to create positive impact across the packaging value chain.

Within our strategic programme Sustainable Partner of Choice, we focus on three pillars that guide all our activities: customers, employees and suppliers. These are the links where we have direct influence and, through collaboration, can create the greatest impact.

Customers: innovation and circularity in packaging solutions
Employees: a safe, inclusive and engaging workplace
Suppliers: a responsible and transparent supply chain

A selection of results of our sustainable progress in 2024

The results from 2024 show how these pillars translate into measurable progress. They demonstrate our commitment to circular packaging solutions, responsible supply chains and positive social impact in local communities. By addressing both environmental and social challenges, we are strengthening the foundation for long-term sustainable growth.

96% of our packaging materials are designed for recycling, actively contributing to circularity in the packaging value chain
97% of our suppliers have signed our Supplier Code of Conduct, safeguarding our standards on ethics, environment and working conditions
43% of management positions are held by women, reflecting our commitment to an inclusive organisation with equal opportunities for all
47 tonnes of CO₂ compensated through a joint solar energy project with a key account, a concrete example of partnership on climate impact
Support for 14 community initiatives worldwide, from education in Bangladesh to healthcare in Denmark, strengthening local communities
Increased share of renewable materials in our packaging portfolio, reducing dependency on virgin fossil-based resources

The results illustrate how our daily choices and partnerships contribute to measurable impact. They form the basis on which we continue to build, as we move towards the ambitions set for 2030.
