About the report
This section of the report describes the methodology behind the data presented throughout this report. Data is collected from various sources and to secure good quality we have an internal control of data through four-eye principle and sense-check vs previous reporting periods. This helps secure good data quality and consistency throughout our reporting.
Elopak ASA has reported in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards for the reporting period 1st January 2022 to 31st December 2022. This report was approved by our Board of Directors and published on 30th March 2023.
Elopak issues annual sustainability reports, and the previous report (for 2021) was issued 1st April, 2022.
In the “General” section of this report, the contents, boundaries and material topics are listed. Most of the issues remain the same as previous years. Some minor changes were done in this year’s report, following input from various stakeholders. These changes include:
- Renaming material topics:
- “Health and Safety” to “Safety” as this is a key focus area on its own, and to reflect internal workflows
- “Employability” to “Employee life cycle” to reflect internal terminology and the way we work with our employees in Elopak. The employee health aspect and labor rights is included here.
- “Human and labor rights” to “Human rights” to reflect internal workflows
- “Net zero” to “Environmental impact” to include other aspects than GHG emissions
- “Renewability and recycled content” to “Bio-circularity” to reflect Elopak’s terminology
- Change in targets:
- Adjusted target #2 originally on motivating workplace to be in line with updated internal practices and framework
- Removing target #8 as this is a running task rather than a target with assigned KPIs
- Change in reporting/KPIs:
- In this report, we highlight KPIs which are of importance to Elopak, and which are regularly reported to our top management. Other GRI disclosures are provided in the data tables only. Previous years, additional GRI Disclosures have been listed as KPIs in the report.

We expect all our suppliers to respect and comply with the code and have an equivalent code and practice in place towards their suppliers and sub-suppliers. Supplier Code of Conduct engagement is an integral part in our supplier onboarding process and in our supplier contracts. Significant and/or critical suppliers undergo a more in-depth assessment at least every two years through self-assessments, third-party assessments such as Ecovadis, follow up meetings and on-site audits for high-risk suppliers (read more here). |
