Building on the HorizonNOW strategy introduced in 2021, the updated agenda defines new measurable goals to be achieved by 2030, reinforcing sustainability as a key pillar of Siegwerk’s overall business strategy. With “FORMULA 2030,” the company recently un- veiled its updated strategic agenda for the next five years, which aims, among other things, to further in- tegrate responsible practices throughout the value chain. As part of this, HorizonNOW 2030 systematical- ly embeds sustainability in the areas of procurement, operations and product innovation. “Sustainability is an integral part of how we create value, which reinforces the competitiveness of our customers and partners,” said Nicolas Wiedmann, CEO at Siegwerk. “HorizonNOW 2030 now connects every step of our business to a sustainable packaging future and supports our ambition to grow responsibly while enabling holistic sustainable packaging innovation.” The backbone of HorizonNOW 2030 is Siegwerk’s commitment to driving sustainability throughout its entire value chain. The agenda is structured around three key areas and eight measurable goals to be achieved by 2030: Sustainable Procurement Human & labor rights : Reduce high risk suppliers by 95 percent (2024 baseline) Climate : Reduce scope 3 emissions by 25 percent (2020 baseline) Sustainable Operations Climate : Reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions by 60 per- cent (2020 baseline) Waste : Reduce waste by 10 percent relative to pro- duced volumes (2024 baseline) Safety : Achieve Total Incident Rate (TIR) below 1.0 Diversity : Increase female representation in leader- ship roles to 30 percent Sustainable Products Circularity : 65 percent of products sold enable cir- cular packaging (by volume) Product trust & transparency : Establish a da- ta-backed sustainable product assessment covering circularity, carbon footprint and product safety “HorizonNOW 2030 translates our sustainability ambition into clear priorities and measurable impact,” explained Alina Marm, Head of Global Sustainability at Siegwerk. “By sourcing responsibly, producing sus- tainably and developing products that enable circular- ity, we actively support our customers in making truly sustainable packaging a reality.”
