Responsibly sourced materials
Society relies on materials from finite resources or materials produced using fossil fuels that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and negatively impact nature. When materials are not sourced responsibly, it can contribute to deforestation, pollution, soil erosion and other environmental issues, contributing to the climate crisis. That’s why it’s essential we manage resource use responsibly and take ethics, labour rights, and social and environmental issues into consideration when sourcing raw materials and services worldwide.
Our products rely on raw materials from forests, farmlands, mining areas and more. And consuming these resources comes with responsibility. Our responsible sourcing practices – such as sourcing materials from sustainably managed forests or suppliers of recycled materials – are embedded in our company strategy and implemented across our supply chain.
Working with suppliers
We work proactively with suppliers to address these impacts. When it comes to ensuring traceability, we use certification standards including FSC1, Bonsucro and the ASI, which include requirements related to pollution as well as the impacts of forestry, sugarcane and aluminium production. In 2025 we have focused specifically on further increasing access to traceability information in light of updates to our target in this area and to build open and sustained dialogue with our suppliers on this topic. We are also closely monitoring the forthcoming EU Deforestation Regulation and have put in place processes and controls to prepare for regulation.
