Environment
Reducing emissions
Syntegon recognizes its responsibility in combating climate change and seeks to achieve ambitious emission reductions.
Syntegon is aiming to:
- Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 48.3% by 2030 (vs. 2019).
- Cut Scope 3.1 and 3.11 emissions by 25% by 2030 (vs. 2022).

The Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) has validated our Scope 1, 2 and 3 ("purchased goods and services" and "use of sold products") targets and confirmed their effectiveness in achieving the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement.
Our Progress in 2025
Sustainable use of materials
Sustainable food packaging is essential for the future, especially with the new PPWR requirements aligning with Europe’s waste rules, covering the entire packaging life cycle, from product design to waste management. We help replace hard-to-recycle multi-layer plastics with eco-friendly mono-material and paper solutions that comply with these evolving standards.
