Sustainability & Responsibility

Taking Responsibility – Operating Sustainably

Sustainability is an integral part of our corporate development. We combine economic success with responsibility towards the environment, employees and business partners.

Our activities are guided by a holistic ESG approach (Environmental, Social and Governance), which is gradually and practically integrated into our business processes.

EcoVadis Sustainability Rating

Bleher Folientechnik was awarded the Silver Medal in the EcoVadis Sustainability Rating 2026.

The current rating confirms the continuous development of our sustainability, compliance and corporate processes.

Sustainability and responsible business conduct are increasingly being systematically integrated into our corporate structures, operational processes and supply chain management.

Climate Protection & Energy

The responsible use of energy and resources is an essential part of our sustainability activities.

Our measures include, among others:

• Use of an in-house photovoltaic system for self-generated electricity
• Covering approximately 21 % of our electricity demand through self-generated solar power
• Purchase of certified green electricity
• Continuous improvement of the energy efficiency of our production processes

Our greenhouse gas emissions are systematically reviewed across Scope 1, Scope 2 and relevant Scope 3 categories and serve as the basis for the continuous development of our sustainability activities.

Circular Economy

During the processing of our films, production residues are collected separately and returned to the recycling cycle. This helps conserve resources and reduce waste.

In addition, we continuously work on improving the recyclability of our products and processes.

Energy-Efficient Production

Our machinery and production equipment are continuously modernized and optimized with regard to energy efficiency.

Among other things, we rely on modern drive technologies as well as the continuous improvement of our production processes.

Electromobility & Infrastructure

To support sustainable mobility, we continuously expand our operational infrastructure.

This includes, among other things:

• 10 charging points for electric vehicles at our site
• Use of electrified vehicles within the company
• Integration of charging infrastructure into our operational energy management

Responsibility within the Supply Chain

We follow a risk-based approach in supplier management. Environmental, social and compliance-related aspects are systematically integrated into our procurement and evaluation processes.

This is based on defined processes as well as internal guidelines and requirements for our business partners.

Product Responsibility & Compliance

Compliance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements is an integral part of our quality and business processes.

Our products are evaluated in consideration of applicable requirements, for example in connection with the European REACH Regulation.

Supplier information and regulatory developments are regularly reviewed and integrated into our processes.
