Governance

In line with the goals of the United Nations

Syntegon, as a partner to the pharmaceutical and food industries, yet again did its part to make foods and pharmaceuticals safe in 2023, thereby contributing to several of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, such as ending hunger and ensuring healthy lives for all. 

Our packaging solutions effectively protect products from dehydration and humidity to preserve their nutritional value, freshness, and flavor. Syntegon’s technologies help ensure medicines are produced and packaged to the highest safety standards. This is how we contribute to the global supply of medicines and vaccines to people.

Environment

Nachhaltige Verpackungslösungen
Sustainable packaging solutions

A renewed focal point of Syntegon’s efforts in 2023 was transitioning from conventional plastic packaging to paper and more recyclable mono-materials.
Syntegon develops technologies that can process sustainable materials efficiently and in a resource-saving way. We support our customers from end to end by drafting requirement profiles, analyzing materials in the lab, testing production runs in our development centers, and retrofitting machines.
Syntegon advises food and pharmaceutical manufacturers on choosing the materials best suited to their products and factories. With our help manufacturers can save material, thus reducing costs, resource consumption, and the burden of disposing of packaging.

Bar meets paper

Mars Wrigley has chosen to flow-wrap one of its popular snack bars in paper, and is collaborating with Syntegon to this end.

Senkung des CO₂-Fußabdrucks
Shrinking the carbon footprint of pharmaceuticals and food production

Syntegon’s intelligent, sustainable processing and packaging solutions help boost energy efficiency and conserve resources in food and pharmaceutical industry manufacturing processes. With our life cycle assessment approach implemented for the first time for a customer in 2023 we offer to food and pharmaceutical manufacturers a totally transparent view of the deployed technologies’ carbon footprint.

Efficient systems and comprehensive services are part of our holistic approach to making customers’ production processes more sustainable. Syntegon extends the service life, efficiency, and availability of its machines by managing spare parts, by upgrading to the latest technologies, and by digitally optimizing overall equipment effectiveness.

Tracking down emissions

Syntegon has carried out an exacting analysis to determine the amounts of energy consumed and carbon emitted by Siegfried, a contract development and manufacturing organization for pharmaceuticals.

Weniger Emissionen
Reduced emissions

Syntegon is aligned with the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement on climate change. In 2023, we reduced our total energy consumption by sixpercent and our emissions by ten percent compared to the previous year. Syntegon is steadily increasing the share of renewables in the electricity it consumes. It has already grown from 41 percent in 2022 to 66 percent in 2023. We installed new photovoltaic systems at three sites that same year.

Health in the workplace

The health and capabilities of our workforce are Syntegon’s greatest assets. We consider it to be our key responsibility to ensure a safe and healthy working environment. We continuously assess potential hazards and risks and consistently take appropriate protective measures.

Our medical service offers skin and colon cancer screening, vaccination programs, and general health checks at various locations. As part of special campaign days and sports events, employees learned about important aspects of health in day-to-day working life and promote their wellbeing in 2023.
