“The jump from last year’s bronze medal to this year’s silver medal demonstrates that we are on track with our sustainability strategy,” according to Dr. Stefan König, Managing Director at Optima. Since May 2022, Optima’s company-wide sustain- ability strategy “We care for tomorrow” has consisted of three pillars: circular packaging, sustainable tech- nology and corporate sustainability. This means that Optima is targeting packaging solutions for a circu- lar economy along with resource-saving production processes developed in partnership with customers.
