ESG report

ESG report

The ESG Report outlines our commitments and highlights a wide range of actions and achievements across environment, social and governance. These topics also support the 17 UN Sustainability Development Goals, of which we have chosen six, where we are committed to act.
As a manufacturer of nonwovens and printed nonwovens, we recognise that our use of energy, solvents, polymers and inks impacts the environment. The report reflects our promise to support customers in creating more sustainable solutions.

Impacts along the value chain

Through our brands, Fibertex Personal Care and Innowo Print, we supply key components and solutions for baby diapers, feminine care, incontinence and medical products.
Our ambition is to accelerate the adoption of more sustainable solutions within the value chain.

Procurement

We strive to reduce negative impacts on people and the environment through close collaboration with our suppliers.

We work continuously to reduce our carbon footprint by improving operational efficiencies, whilst ensuring the best conditions for our suppliers’ safety and health.

We work diligently with our transporters and customers to optimise the utilisation of each truck and container – considering both weight and space.

Customers

Our goal is to provide transparency around our products and services, enabling our customers to make informed decisions. We are also committed to offering innovative solutions that support more sustainable solutions.

ESG ambitions

Our ESG ambitions for 2030

Today, with global challenges demanding urgent action, our focus is sharper than ever.

Each is supported by specific approaches and clear commitments.

Environment

Reduce carbon footprint by 25%
through material innovation

Approach

Social

impact circle

Is neutral possible?

This is our impact circle which shows our impact and efforts along the value chain. We believe that these efforts will help reduce the overall carbon footprint – and bring carbon neutrality within reach. Many of the technologies and processes needed to cut emissions already exist. The opportunity lies in scaling them across the industry.

 

Our ambition is to accelerate the adoption of more sustainable solutions throughout the value chain.

 

Procurement

(74%) Consumption of raw materials and packaging materials invariably lead to some form of environmental impact, we continuously strive to reduce such impact, through projects to reduce consumption and eliminate waste and at the same time in close collaboration with our suppliers work to reduce the environmental impact of our raw materials and packaging materials.

Processing

(20%) Producing our products invariably lead to use of energy, we continuously strive to reduce the impact, though energy saving projects, installation of renewable energy and use of renewable energy certificates.

Logistics

(6%) Transport of raw materials and finished good invariably lead to some form of environmental impact, we work diligently with our suppliers, customers, and transporters to optimise the utilisation of each truck and container and to optimise the routing to move transport from road to rail or sea.

Customers

Our goal is to provide transparency regarding our products and services. This enables our customers and consequently end users to make informed decisions. In addition, we are committed to offering more sustainable innovative solutions, in order to enable customers and end users to have access to more sustainable options. We have for years recycled our own waste to make new products and have recently embarked on a project to utilise post industrial waste from our customers.

End-users

Nonwovens are used in baby diapers, menstrual products, adult incontinence and personal care products, which are used safely by consumers all over the world. Through continuous innovation they are light, compact, very absorbent, prevents leaks and are easy to use.

The loop

Absorbent hygiene products (AHP) typically become waste after a single use. Since these are currently recycled to a small extent (<1%), most of this waste is disposed of in landfills or incinerated. Closed loop recycling remains elusive due to the inherent difficulties in recycling used products, containing approximately 80% organic materials, into raw materials of sufficient purity and quality to be reused for new high quality nonwoven products.
