Responsible sourcing
Responsible sourcing consists of looking at what we purchase beyond the more traditional aspects of cost, quality and delivery time. This is one of the strategic objectives for our supply chain operations.
Paperboard
As a major user of paperboard, we have a responsibility to ensure the world's forests are managed in a socially, environmentally and economically sound way. We are working to ensure 100 percent of the paperboard in our packages is from certified sources.
Sustainable packages
Our long-term ambition is that all our packaging material will be made from 100 percent renewable materials, without compromising safety, quality or functionality.
