Our sustainability approach
Sustainability at IPL Schoeller
As one company, we combine decades of innovation and expertise to design packaging that lasts and protects what matters. By reducing emissions, reusing materials and acting responsibly, we help build a more sustainable, circular future.
Double Materiality Assessment
Defining our sustainability priorities
Both former companies previously carried out Double Materiality Assessments and identified the same priority areas:
Climate Change (E1)
Circular Economy (E5)
Own Workforce (S1)
Business Conduct (G1)
We are now developing a joint Double Materiality Assessment that will form the basis for our future sustainability reporting and disclosures.
We are active members of:
Roundtable for Reusable Container Trays and Pallets (RCTP) in Europe
The Roundtable for Reusable Containers, Trays, and Pallets (RCTP) promotes the use of reusable transport packaging to reduce waste.
Stiftung Initiative Mehrweg in Europe
Stiftung Initiative Mehrweg supports the conservation of natural resources and environmental protection by increasing the use of reusable packaging across all sectors.
Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR) in the US and Canada
The Association of Plastics Recyclers drives circularity by setting recyclability standards, advocating for policy, creating market demand for post-consumer recycled plastics, and providing design guides to ensure plastic packaging is optimised for recyclability.
Reusable Packaging Association (RPA) in the US
IPL Schoeller is engaged with RPA, which accelerates adoption and optimisation of reusable packaging through education and advocacy.
