Flexible packaging specialist adapa puts sustainability at the core of its business. “We consider the question of HOW we produce in every step of our operations, while also accounting for people, our environment and our economic system. Over the last few years, we have intensified our efforts to drive positive change in all these areas to support the Sustainable Development Goals, to advance the European Green Deal and to boost the transformation of our sector,” says Michael Schernthaner, CEO adapa Group. “We are very pleased that we have shown such an outstanding performance in our first rating by Sustainalytics. This is a joint success story of our employees, and I would also like to thank all our partners, customers and suppliers, who are joining us on this journey. The rating also motivates us to step up our efforts and to push ahead with our continuous improvement measures. Our goal is to become a leader in sustainability in our industry.“
