EPAT Supply Chain (CONT’D FROM PAGE 33) The Labor and Human Rights category has been ex- panded with clearer scoring definitions aligned with ILO Core Conventions and ISO 26000. Suppliers are now as- sessed on policies, worker engagement, grievance mech- anisms, monitoring systems, and verified compliance au- dits. This refinement provides a stronger framework for evaluating social responsibility performance. Celebrating The Best In addition, the label industry’s finest were celebrated at the inaugural Labels & Labeling Global Awards on the evening of the first day of the show at Festa Barcelona. Labelexpo Europe 2025 expanded its sustainability ef- forts with the Better Stands program, which incentivizes exhibitors to utilize recyclable materials to build stands, and an exclusive partnership with DMP – recycling matrix waste, which is transformed into usable materials. Rebranding This year, Labelexpo Global Series announced a major rebrand across the event portfolio, transitioning into the new brand, LOUPE, in 2026, starting with the Americas show in September. The LOUPE portfolio remains labels-focused while ac- knowledging the industry’s expansion and diversification in the past decade into flexible packaging and in-line fold- ing cartons. The next Europe show will return from Octo- ber 5-8, 2027, as LOUPE Europe 2027. Esko: Life Sciences Brands Can Bring Packaging To Market Faster Visitors to this year’s CPHI Frankfurt event were among the first to discover the latest Esko innovations specifically designed to boost Life Sciences brand packaging quality, efficiency and accuracy. Straddling The Line “The Life Sciences sector is one that often has to strad- dle the line between consumer goods and healthcare, opening up new challenges such as traceability, anti-coun- terfeit security and compliance,” said Esko CMO Jan De Roeck. “Stringent legislation, like the EU FMD (falsified medicine directive) that mandates unique identifiers on packaging in order to comply with track and trace systems – usually in the form of a QR code – means that neither brand owners nor their packaging suppliers can compro- mise on things like print fidelity and quality.” “At this year’s CPHI event, we demonstrated our lat- est advances that ensure this accuracy in artwork man- agement within the flagship Esko WebCenter Enterprise solution, which integrates with existing tech stacks to or- chestrate custom go-to-market packaging and label work- flows,” said De Roeck.
