our sustainability priorities 2030
Sustainability is a key component of our company strategy. We have a clear roadmap for 2030 and beyond. It tackles the topics that are most material to our business and our stakeholders, and translates our overall sustainability efforts into tangible goals. Our ambitious sustainable development commitments are divided into four main topics:
we empower people
At delfort, we provide safe and rewarding workplaces for our employees and invest heavily in the training and development of our staff, enhancing both their professional expertise and personal skills.
we innovate sustainable products
As we develop our solutions, we always make sure that we use as few raw materials as we can. We satisfy the needs of different users and industries with the lightest, thinnest papers possible. Lighter paper means less pulp, lower weight, reduced transportation space, less waste, and contributes to a circular economy by promoting resource efficiency and waste reduction.
we leverage climate actions
We are committed to a clear decarbonization roadmap and have created a corridor of different scenarios. Our most conservative reduction goal already surpasses the targets outlined in the SBTi Net-Zero Standard.
we support your secure business
We use sound procurement practices to manage business risk, improve the supply chain, and create advanced solutions for our customers. To achieve this, we have established a supplier management framework that relies on standardized processes and activities. This framework enables us to make informed decisions during the procurement process.
