In line with our mission "processing and packaging for a better life", Syntegon's technologies contribute to the worldwide supply of long-lasting and high-quality food, as well as high-quality and safely packaged medicines. We are a leader in the development of sustainable packaging solutions and attach particular importance to resource-saving technologies.

In addition, Syntegon has high standards in terms of business ethics and social responsibility. We are committed to the principles of the United Nations Global Compact. We regularly evaluate the environmental and social dimensions of our business and keep an eye on our supply chain.

As part of our own ESG strategy (Environmental Social Governance), we pursue specific goals and measure ourselves against high standards. We also have ourselves assessed annually by Ecovadis as part of a sustainability rating. We are involved in the local communities surrounding our sites and support initiatives in the areas of health, food supply, sustainability, and education.

Supply Chain

Along our entire supply chain, we obligate ourselves and our business partners to comply with sustainable business practices and fundamental human rights. We already require our suppliers and service providers to comply with our code of conduct for business partners during the selection process. We work closely with our existing contractual partners, support them in improving their ESG performance, and regularly review them in audits.

Syntegon makes sure that there are no compliance violations or other actions in its supply chain that conflict with applicable law and responsible corporate governance.

  • We assess risks and regularly audit areas at greater risk of compliance violations.
  • In the event of violations, we demand prompt improvements. If they persist, Syntegon will cease working with the respective suppliers.
  • We use tools such as supplier questionnaires, a quick-check app, and deep-drill assessments
