Strategy

Syntogen believes that sustainability is not only a responsibility but also a key driver of innovation and future growth, enabling Syntogen to support customers with sustainable solutions throughout the full lifecycle of their products.

Excellence in sustainable operations 

With CVC’s support, Syntegon validated its decarbonisation targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2023. Syntegon has also increased its EcoVadis rating from Silver to Platinum, which was awarded in 2025, placing the Group among the top 1% of all assessed companies. This recognition is a strong validation of Syntegon’s efforts, and motivates them to raise the bar even higher.

Alongside environmental progress, Syntegon has strengthened health and safety performance and enhanced support for colleagues, contributing to lower operating costs, increased competitiveness and higher employee engagement.

Sustainability is an integral part of Syntegon’s strategy, impact and commercial success. The group focuses on enabling customers to adopt more sustainable packaging solutions, including technologies that efficiently process sustainable materials while minimising resource consumption.

These advances in sustainability have together delivered tangible financial benefits for Syntegon, including a €2 million cost avoidance on sustainability-linked loans (SLL), lower insurance costs and new business wins.

Syntegon’s progress illustrates how CVC supports portfolio companies to embed sustainability as a driver of innovation, operational excellence and long-term value creation.
