Sustainability Commitment

Guided by our Vision “Growing Sustainably, Competing with the Best” we strive daily to improve our performance by optimizing environmental and social impacts, both in our products and processes, in constant dialogue with our stakeholders to understand the changing environment.

THE PRESIDENT'S VISION

“We are aware of the daily challenges that await us on the way towards a sustainable future for our planet and for the people who inhabit it. At the same time, we remain confident that what we have done so far is leading us in the right direction, starting with our products and extending to all our behaviours. Gualapack has already embraced the challenges and the opportunities deriving from this great change. We will continue to work in partnership with our clients and suppliers to help create a world where packaging has a lower environmental impact, supporting the need to preserve and use many of the products that are part of our everyday lives."
