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.

Target
Elopak’s performance
8.4 Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production, with developed countries taking the lead
Elopak works continuously to reduce our product’s environmental impact, through various measures, including reducing use of raw materials and increasing use of raw materials originating from renewable resources. Through an increasing geographical footprint, we help spread sustainable innovations and implementation of our standards.
8.5 By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value
Elopak contributes with decent work for people in the countries where we operate. Our principles include that all processes, from recruiting to promotions (including compensation). All recruitments and promotions should be merit-based, and not based on characteristics such as gender, national origin, religion, ethnic background, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, or age (read more here).
8.7 Take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms
We respect and support internationally recognized human rights and labor standards, including those outlined in the International Bill of Human Rights and the ILO declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (Core Labor Standards). We strive to positively impact our business partners and the communities where we operate. Our approach for working with human rights is based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Due Diligence Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct (read more here).
8.8 Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women migrants, and those in precarious employment
Elopak respects all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and industry standards concerning working hours, minimum wages, and rules related to the working environment in line with human rights as defined by the United Nations. We respect the freedom of employee associations and the right to collective bargaining. We aim to follow local mid-market remuneration practice in all the countries where we are represented, including minimum wages and employer’s liability insurances (read more here).
8.10 Strengthen the capacity of domestic financial institutions to encourage and expand access to banking, insurance and financial services for all
In order to secure a fair allocation of taxable income in the jurisdictions where Elopak has activities, we base our transfer price approach on the OECD guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines. During 2023 we will formalize our approach in a tax policy (read more here).
Target
Elopak’s performance
12.2 By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources
Elopak has committed to source 100% of fibers in cartons from verified legal and accetable sources and have done so since 2015. We are strong supporters of certification systems, such as FSC, ISCC and ASI (read more here).
12.3 By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses 
Elopak produce cartons which keeps products unharmed, meaning the quality of the fresh and nutricious foods and beverages filled, is not altered. This allows for safe distribution of important foods to people across the globe. Keeping products safely packaged helps reduce food waste.
12.5 By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse 
Continually improving our internal processes to reduce waste generated in production, is of importance to Elopak. In parallel, we work to increase the recycling of our products after use, in key markets where we operate (read more here).
12.6 Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle 
Our Global Supplier Code of Conduct outlines our expectations and requirements towards suppliers related to anti-corruption and business ethics, human and labor rights, health and safety and the environment. 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).
Target
Elopak’s performance
13.2 Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning 
Indirectly, Elopak inspire others through ensuring own practices and publishing these, as well as requiring similar approaches from our suppliers. Companies setting science based targets create a healthy push to the countries where they operate, and help these countries reach their targets (read more here).
13.3 Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning 
Through internal training programmes and strategic initiatives across all our sites, Elopak contribute with awareness raising and more importantly, emission reductions (read more here).
