We have concrete goals for our environmental efforts

The environment and sustainability have played a major role at Scanlux Packaging for many years. Our environmental policy is a task we all take on together. This means that we work hard to ensure that all employees know and understand our environmental policy. This applies to all our processes from idea, design, production and transport of packaging. Our employees integrate our environmentally-conscious initiatives into their everyday lives and use them as a guideline in their work.

We became environmentally certified in 2016 and have continuously improved our environmental efforts through concrete initiatives in connection with the production, transport and disposal of packaging.

We work actively and systematically to reduce our impact on the environment. We do our best to protect the environment through all our procedures. Our environmental policy contains objectives and initiatives for how to achieve them.

Together, we focus on the environment

It’s not only within our company that we have requirements on how to deal with our environmental impact. We prefer to choose environmentally-conscious business partners. We expect our suppliers and partners to have the same passion for curbing pollution and climate change as we do. They must adhere to our environmental policy and follow our environmentally-conscious thinking and procedures.

We work determinedly on:

  • Affecting our customers’ choices toward more environmentally-friendly and sustainable solutions.
  • Choosing environmentally-conscious suppliers and partners
  • Minimising emissions of greenhouse gasses in connection with transport.
  • In general, minimising our consumption of greenhouse gases in our buildings and at our offices.

This means that we:

  • Help our customers reduce their CO2 consumption via packaging through analysis, material choice and redesign.
  • Use FSC® certified paper and cardboard in our production processes.
  • Use recycled plastic or bioplastic in our production of plastic.
  • Recommend our customers to create packaging that gets reused, can be recycled or composted.
  • Ensure that the power from our buildings and offices comes from green energy as much as possible.
  • Sort and recycle our waste.
  • Ensure that our employees know and understand our environmental policy and act in relation to it.
  • Identify our environmental impact and create plans of action that are assessed every half year.
  • Comply with and live up to binding obligations, including the applicable legislation and regulations under the ISO 14001 standard, FSC® obligations and own goals and action plans.

Your guarantee for responsibility

Of course, we have the right certifications in place, so you are guaranteed that the climate and environment are in focus when you use us as your supplier. With our certifications come obligations and legal requirements, which we comply with to a high degree.

We are FSC®-certified (FSC-C126290), which means that you can have the FSC® label on your packaging if you choose to buy FSC®-certified products. If you choose to go with packaging that is FSC®-certified, you are, among other things, helping to safeguard the nature in the forests from which the wood originates. You contribute to the forest workers having decent working conditions, such as fair wages, education and safety. And you also help to ensure that new forests are established where the old ones are felled.

In addition to being FSC® certified, we are also ISO 14001 certified. ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized certification in environmental management. The certification confirms that we make a big effort to reduce the negative impact on the environment that all industrial businesses have. We are also committed to producing not only environmentally responsible products, but also make sure that the process is environmentally friendly.

EcoVadis Silver Medal 2023

The first time we applied to be part of the EcoVadis evaluation programme, Scanlux Packaging was awarded a beautiful silver medal. We are incredibly proud and delighted with this recognition, emphasising our commitment to sustainable business practices.

But what is EcoVadis?

EcoVadis is an independent sustainability rating platform that carefully evaluates companies based on their environmental and social practices. Today, 125,000+ companies are working with the EcoVadis rating programme.

They evaluate a wide range of key areas, such as environmental performance, labour practices, sustainable sourcing, ethical business practices and social impact.

An EcoVadis Silver Medal shows that we not only fulfil quality standards in packaging but also comply with strict social and environmental criteria and set high standards in sustainability compared to the other companies EcoVadis assesses.

What does our silver medal mean to us and our customers?

Ann Lindhardtsen Nielsen, our ISO & FSC Specialist, has worked with sustainability and certifications for many years here at Scanlux and emphasises, "Many of our customers have sustainability goals, and we, therefore, see it as an essential focus for our business to be able to support our partners' goals.

We are now among only 15% of all companies assessed by EcoVadis to have achieved silver, but next time, we're going for gold. Working with sustainability is a constant and dynamic process. We always strive to become an even better and more relevant partner for our customers."

We want to be not only a packaging supplier for our customers but also a business partner that actively contributes to taking responsibility for our impact on society and the environment.

Our environmental policy is a process

This also means that we regularly evaluate our environmental impact. We prepare action plans, which are renewed every six months. We continuously evaluate the initiatives we have already implemented and adjust where needed.

We also strive to stay updated on what’s happening around the world, as we want to be as well-informed as possible about developments in sustainability to learn how Scanlux can be even more aware of sustainability in our daily work and new initiatives.
