Sustainability at CurTec
We envision a future where we grow and innovate with circularity in mind and see each day as an opportunity to improve ourselves and inspire others. By 2050, we aim to achieve a net zero value chain and play a key role in the operational and sustainability goals of our partners.
We will achieve our mission and make our vision a reality by executing our sustainability roadmap by 2050. Sustainability at CurTec entails concrete goals related to:

The first pillar represents the ambition to bring emissions to net zero across our entire value chain. The second pillar includes the ambition to have a positive impact on the health, safety and well-being of our people. The third pillar represents the ambition to work with partners on the transition to a circular packaging industry.
The goals under climate, health & wellbeing and, circularity & partnerships reflect topics that are material to CurTec when considering its organization, business activities and entire value chain.
Governance
CurTec has anchored sustainability on a strategic and organizational level. Our SBTi net zero ambition is one of our 4 strategic long-term goals. As such, each department is held responsible for achieving this ambition.
At the organizational level, we have appointed a sustainability officer to manage the mission and collaborate with all departments to realize the ambitions. This role falls under the QESH department and is supported by a group of green-thinking colleagues: the CurTec Green Team.
