🌍 Driving Sustainability Forward at Trelleborg Group 🌱 Last week, we had the privilege of hosting a #Sustainability Workshop in Forsheda, Sweden, bringing together a passionate group of 30 colleagues for two days of #collaboration and #innovation. During the workshop, we explored: ✅ The state-of-the-art developments in sustainability ✅ Trelleborg’s sustainability agenda and ambitious targets ✅ Action plans to ensure we meet our goals and make a real impact The energy and commitment displayed during these two days were truly inspiring. It’s clear that sustainability is not just a goal — it’s a shared responsibility and a journey we’re all dedicated to. Workshops like this remind us that when we come together, we can align our strategies, exchange ideas, and accelerate progress toward a more sustainable future. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed their insights! Together, we’re building a greener, more responsible tomorrow. #Sustainability #Innovation #Collaboration #Trelleborg

💬 Exciting times at LUXEPACK Monaco! I had the honor of joining a panel with Marianne Mensah Soulez Lariviere, Benjamin Cohen Alain Pierron and our fantastic moderator Gerald Martines Together, we explored and discussed the future of biodegradable and compostable #packaging in the luxury industry. ✨ My Key insights from the panel: ♻️Regulations need to catch up with biodegradable materials—they are key to defossilation and decarbonization, but without clear guidance, the path forward remains tricky. ♻️While paper-based materials are thriving, foils and injection materials are underutilized despite their availability. The system isn’t ready to support start-ups that offer innovative, eco-friendly solutions. 🚀 ♻️Consumers, especially younger generations, want to move away from plastics. They’re expecting packaging that’s easy to recycle or compost, but current solutions aren’t enough. We need to push for clear definitions, better regulations, infrastructure and education on sorting and composting. Thank you Marianne for sharing this perspective which is important to keep in mind. ♻️especially for the luxury industry—new materials may offer new designs, sensories and interesting alternatives to remaining materials like PET, PE and PP since with #PPWR these will be the remaining material streams. 💡 The future is in harmonized #regulations, education, and fostering collaboration between all players and we need material diversity! 🌱 A call to action: The road ahead requires ideation and exploration, with both industry and regulators stepping up to meet consumer expectations. ➡️We couldn’t find the holy grail yet, but there is still hope for the future! 🙏🏻Thank you LUXEPACK and in particular Marie-Laetitia Luccioni for enabling this important discussion and creating awareness! #Sustainability #EcoPackaging #Biodegradable #LuxuryInnovation #CompostablePackaging #FutureOfLuxury #InnovationInPackaging #LUXEPACK #EcoFriendlyPackaging #CircularEconomy #packagingregation

🌍 Inspiring Moments at the Sustainable Packaging Summit in Amsterdam this week! I had the pleasure of attending this year’s Packaging Europe Conference — what an inspiring experience! From groundbreaking innovations to sustainability insights, the event was packed with valuable takeaways and conversations with industry leaders. 🚀 Key Highlights: Sustainable Solutions: It was incredible to see so many companies committed to eco-friendly packaging innovations, proving that sustainable choices can drive real impact across the supply chain. Technology & Automation: Learning about advancements in smart packaging and automation was a game-changer, promising a future where efficiency meets sustainability. It also confirmed that TOMRA is in a leading position to provide the right recycling solutions when it comes to sensor-based-sorting technologies. Networking & Collaboration: Meeting with like-minded professionals and experts in the field was truly inspiring. These conversations will undoubtedly lead to new collaborations and ideas. Thank you to Packaging Europe for hosting such a forward-thinking event, and to all the speakers and exhibitors who shared their insights and innovations. Excited to take these learnings back and explore how we can further contribute to the future of packaging. #PackagingEurope #Sustainability #Innovation #PackagingIndustry #Networking #FutureOfPackaging #TOMRA

Quite recently, we published our sustainability report. In the meantime, we received a lot of positive feedback. I was very encouraged. Like many other players who want to shape the future, we are committed to the importance and relevance of this topic. An integrated approach to sustainability will have a significant impact on Lohmann's business model soon. Apart from the fact that many societies overuse their natural ecosystems, a lack of consideration for sustainability or climate change will lead to many new risks. Rising raw material prices and disrupted supply chains are only one obvious aspect of this, but do not uncover the true negative potential of long-term climate change and its impact on the foundations of our common economy and actions. In this respect, we are working on our integrated vision for a more sustainable future, which has also become the basis of our sustainability roadmap. Sustainability, or more precisely ESG, is currently high on the agenda and one of the main pillars of our current corporate strategy Lohmann Beyond. We regard sustainability as both, a compulsory exercise and a voluntary activity. The future duty in a social market economy - but strictly speaking in any form of a liberal economic system - will be to recognize that economic development is not necessarily combined with growth in the flow of goods and quantitative consumption, but rather to realize qualitative and profitable economic development. However, this is not a contradiction or a revolution, as Schumpeter already noted many many years ago. The “freestyle” involves linking profitable business models with a measurable contribution to social welfare. Many needs in our markets are now also driven by sustainability. They often redefine the basic requirements and rules of a market. However, they often also offer growth potential because the needs are not yet fully addressed. These are great opportunities that change brings with it. Therefore, our goal is to spend more time on strategic reflection about sustainability and align our organisation’s operations with sustainability targets and leverage ESG skills to strengthen the foundation of our organisation’s future growth strategies. This report documents the current status of our activities. I hope you enjoy reading it and you will find some inspiration.
