Reporting

Elopak reports according to the GRI framework (Core). We also report to CDP, the UN Global Compact, and to the Ethical Trade Norway organization. As suppliers, we report into the Sedex and EcoVadis platforms.

Reporting gives us good and relevant feedback, which helps us understand and improve our overall sustainability performance. In November 2021, Elopak was awarded a platinum rating for its sustainability performance by EcoVadis. This achievement places Elopak in the top 1% of companies evaluated across all industries. Elopak also received a B score in the CDP climate change evaluation, and an A score in the supplier engagement rating, in 2021.
