Stronger together

Reducing emissions
Syntegon recognizes its responsibility in combating climate change and seeks to achieve ambitious emission reductions.
The Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) has validated our targets and confirmed their effectiveness in achieving the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement. Syntegon is aiming to:
- Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% from 2019 to 2030.
- Cut Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030 (vs. 2022).
- Achieve CO₂ neutrality by 2040.
Our Progress in 2024
Not a drop in the bucket
Pharma, biotech, and food industries aim to reduce their carbon footprint. Syntegon not only minimizes energy consumption with its own operations, but also enables resource-efficient processes at customer sites.
Sustainable use of materials
Doing more with less
The European Union's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) sets high demands for food manufacturers. Syntegon works closely with them to develop specific solutions that meet all regulatory requirements.
We care for our people
Syntegon takes responsibility for its employees. Their health and safety is of utmost importance to us. We value heterogeneous working practices and strive for a diverse workforce. All employees are to be qualified for their tasks in the best possible way and have the opportunity for further development.
Meet to lead
Personal development and a growth mindset are key aspects for Syntegon. A participant in Syntegon's talent development program GROW and her mentor discuss what this means for them.
Moving forward together
Syntegon’s Calorie Cup initiative combines physical fitness with social commitment. Employees around the world have been exercising and have thereby contributed to donations for charitable causes.
Supply Chain
Along our entire supply chain, we obligate ourselves and our business partners to comply with sustainable business practices and fundamental human rights.
Syntegon expects business partners to unequivocally commit to compliance, law and order, and responsible corporate governance.
This includes taking ethical, social, and environmental concerns into account in all business activities.
Syntegon requires its suppliers and service providers to comply with its Code of Conduct for Business Partners. It summarizes the most important rules for compliance with the principle of lawfulness and for the responsible and fair conduct of business activities.
