ESG policy framework
Comprehensive environmental, social, and governance policies • Updated 2025
Sustainability has always been integral to our purpose
Our ESG commitment
Environment
Reducing our environmental footprint through renewable energy, waste reduction, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
Social
Foster inclusive workplaces, support communities, and ensure fair labour practices across our global operations.
Governance
Maintain the highest standards of corporate governance, transparency, and ethical business conduct.
From preserving food safety to enabling life science innovation, every project we undertake carries a responsibility to our people, our communities, and the planet we share.
Our guiding principles
ESG in Action Across the Group.
Energy Efficiency
Purever made significant progress in decarbonisation through expanded photovoltaic installations across factories, low‑energy lighting upgrades, electrification of equipment, and targeted efficiency measures such as improved insulation, and industrial process optimisation. In parallel, the Group is calculating its full carbon footprint for the first time, establishing a consolidated emissions baseline that will inform a 1.5°C‑aligned carbon‑reduction roadmap for all companies.
Safety & Wellbeing
The Safety First program was rolled out across the Group to standardise safety culture, expand training, and reinforce governance. This supports our pathway to ISO 45001 certification at all sites. Wellbeing initiatives, including mental health campaigns and employee engagement actions, strengthened a culture grounded in health, fairness, and continuous improvement.
Waste Reduction
Process improvements reduced material use, including 30% less cardboard, 20% less plastic, and up to 40% less glue waste. Automated lines, sustainable packaging adjustments, and product lifecycle improvements strengthened our shift towards a more resource‑efficient, low‑waste operating model, aligned with circularity principles.
Product Innovation
Purever advanced sustainable design and product transparency. High‑performance solutions such as QUANTEC® insulation, cleanroom and cold room systems with industry‑leading thermal conductivity, and expanded product EPD coverage, reduced customer energy consumption and improved lifetime environmental performance.
Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity initiatives, International Women’s Day roundtables, education partnerships, job‑fair participation, and cultural engagement events such as Sant Jordi and World Book Day, deepened social connection across regions. These programs ensured Purever’s growth generated shared value for local communities and supported equal opportunities.
Certified Commitment
Progress was supported by internationally recognized standards, with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications reinforcing continuous improvement and responsible management across all sites. EcoVadis Bronze ratings for PAP and Ardmac reflected progress in transparency and responsible supply‑chain practices.
Trust & Collaboration
Collaboration with employees, suppliers, and customers deepened across the value chain. We worked with clients to deliver energy-efficient, low-impact solutions and with suppliers to promote responsible sourcing and lower-carbon materials — building trusted, transparent relationships focused on sustainable performance.
Governance & Culture
Newly established strong governance structures — including the integration of ESG within the Group Leadership Team and the creation of the ESG Steering Committee — now provide aligned oversight, transparency, and consistent progress across all companies.
Accreditations
Rigorous testing & Compliance
We test beyond the standard to reduce risk and guarantee compliance. Our central Research and Development facility ensures every component exceeds global regulatory standards.
