Our commitment for a more sustainable future

E-coesia

ECOESIA sustainable solutions

The Group created a Sustainability Expertise Center with the goal of strategically investing in the research and development of packaging solutions, products and services for its customers that combine innovation, high performance, and eco-sustainability. 

Coesia is committed to ensuring its packaging equipment is able to run 100% recyclable materials and to reduce energy consumption, water consumption, and CO₂ emissions while minimizing waste. Thanks to their vast experience in paper-based packaging, the Group's packaging specialists co-develop alternative solutions alongside customers, allowing them to replace less sustainable materials and to optimize the overall packaging size.

Environment

Coesia recognizes the importance of safeguarding the natural environment and is committed to monitoring its impacts by identifying specific mitigation measures through the constant improvement of processes and the introduction of new technologies. 
The Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Policy expresses the Group's commitment to environmental protection and defines the reference requirements for environmental management at all sites, incorporating compliance with applicable regulations and continuous improvement of performance as essential components.
Coesia has started a process of implementing Environmental Management Systems certified in accordance with ISO 14001:2015 in its operating sites, with the aim of covering at least 80% of the Group's population by 2028.

Commitment to reducing greenhouse gases

The path towards decarbonization represents a core component of Coesia's commitment to a sustainable future and is in line with the objectives of the 2015 Paris Agreement.

Coesia has joined the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) with the aim of validating its greenhouse gas reduction objectives by 2025: namely, to achieve carbon neutrality (GHG scope 1-2) and a 25% reduction (GHG scope 3) by 2030, and net zero by 2050.

To support the Group's objectives, an energy strategy has been defined. This strategy will focus on reducing direct and indirect emissions on the carbon footprint associated with the value chain and on developing innovative technologies to allow for increasingly efficient use of energy in the industrial solutions produced.

Key points of the energy strategy

Maximize the use of renewable energy

In order to actively contribute to the energy transition, Coesia is implementing a plan to install photovoltaic systems on its sites: it reached an installed power of 13.3 MW in 2023 and aims to reach 20 MW by 2027 and to source 100% of the electricity it uses from renewable sources by 2030.

Investments aimed at energy saving and the upgrading of production plants

  • Upgrade electrical systems to eliminate fossil fuels.
  • Replacing existing systems with energy-efficient systems.
  • Improving the energy performance of buildings through thermal insulation and shielding.
  • Extending continuous monitoring and control systems at sites with a view to the constant management of energy optimization actions.

E-mobility

Transitioning the vehicle fleet to electric and hybrid solutions with the introduction of a company policy that requires compliance with the WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure) emission limit of 160g CO2/km for company fleet vehicles.
