🧠 Mental health is an essential part of our overall well-being, and its impact extends beyond our emotional state to our performance, decision-making, and safety. World Mental Health Day on October 10 is a good reminder of the importance of mental well-being.  When mental health struggles go unnoticed or unaddressed, they can affect focus, increase fatigue, and contribute to workplace accidents, especially in high-stakes environments like production facilities where safety is critical. Mental health affects everyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Supporting World Mental Health Day is not just about one day – it’s about our continuous commitment to the well-being of our entire community.

🌍 In today's rapidly changing business environment, the role of a company's board of directors is becoming increasingly crucial in driving sustainability initiatives. Our CEO, Charles Heaulme recently shared his thoughts on this important topic on Boardman International blog.   Boards must thoroughly understand ESG and actively ensure that sustainability is integrated into business strategies and decision-making processes. This involves taking a proactive role in guiding the company's strategy towards long-term sustainability goals, fostering a culture of collaboration and transparency, and ensuring that the company is not simply compliant with the increasing reporting requirements but also actively integrating sustainable practices across all operations. The regulatory landscape also emphasizes transparent and sustainable supply chains, recycling, product design, green claims, human rights, and more. Addressing these issues requires tight collaboration across the value chain, as no company can solve them alone.   Additionally, Charles highlighted the importance of embracing gender balance - it is a call to action for all of us to foster diverse perspectives that enhance decision-making and contribute to better business outcomes.

We believe that food packaging is essential not only because it protects the contents inside, but also a brand’s reputation. The recent launch of Unilever’s innovative Magnum® Bon Bon has become a testament to a strong partnership between our companies, involving nearly four years of intensive work in product definition, raw material evaluations, homologation tests and adaptation to new filling technology. The new pack, made using PEFC certified fibers, enables Magnum® Bon Bon to stand out amongst the competition due to its special format and metallized finish. The success of this project would not have been possible without the essential support and collaboration of our global and local teams. This collaboration reinforces our adaptability, commitment to excellence, and the power of teamwork. We look forward to continuing this journey and achieving even greater milestones together with our partners. #MagnumBonBon #Magnum #Care #Dare #Deliver #Innovation #SustainblePackaging #Partnership #CustomerCollaboration Huhtamaki Spain
