Elopak’s sustainability reports covers three main areas of responsibility: our people, our planet, and our profits.
Since 2008 we have published third-party audited key environmental data in our environmental reports. This data is not as all-encompassing as the later sustainability reports but gives an idea of the development of Elopak’s environmental impact. Since 2019, we have published sustainability reports, covering environmental as well as social and governance issues.
From 2023 we have a combined annual and sustainability report.
All our data are based on internal reporting, collated from production, administration and sales units worldwide, and is in line with the framework of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Environmental data are third party verified according to the ISO standard (ISO 14064-3:2006).

In 2023, Elopak was awarded an A+ score for excellent Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) reporting by sustainability consultancy Position Green. This places Elopak in the top 5% of companies assessed. Position Green’s ESG100 analysis examines the degree to which the corporate ESG reporting of the 100 largest listed companies in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway provides valuable financial and non-financial information for decision makers.

Greenwashing
Greenwashing is when companies make potentially misleading claims about their sustainability without evidencing these claims or providing proper documentation. This undermines those companies making genuine and valuable efforts to become more sustainable and ends up hurting us all.
Elopak stands firmly against the practice of greenwashing and in 2020 signed the Guide Against Greenwashing Pledge. This initiative was created by Skift – Climate Business Leaders, WWF Norway, Zero and Future In Our Hands. It serves as a practical guide against greenwashing and in doing so seeks to accelerate a shift towards genuine sustainability.
As a signatory, Elopak has committed to being honest and accountable in its reporting; to taking actions to further sustainability in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); and to maintaining a strong focus on reducing the company’s environmental footprint.
