Built for people. Designed for responsibility.
At Emballator, our Code of Conduct has always been part of how we work. As our company has grown and our responsibilities have expanded, we have revisited and refined it. The aim has been simple: to make sure our Code of Conduct reflects the Emballator we are today and supports the decisions we make every day.
Rather than changing our foundations, this updated version makes them clearer and easier to use. It brings together our long-held expectations into a straightforward guide that helps us act responsibly, work safely and support each other across all parts of the business.
“Our Code of Conduct supports us in the choices we make every day. It keeps us grounded and aligned, especially as we continue to grow across Europe,” says Maria Edqvist Schultz, Head of Sustainability.
Clear guidance for everyday decisions
The Code of Conduct offers practical support in situations we all encounter. It gives guidance on acting with integrity, communicating openly, taking responsibility and treating people fairly. It also outlines expectations around safety, data protection, environmental care and the use of company resources.
The goal is not to add complexity, but to provide clarity. The Code helps us navigate decisions confidently and make sure we handle our work in a consistent, responsible way - no matter the role, site or task.
Strengthening trust across our value chain
A reliable way of working is essential when our products and processes touch so many people. The Code of Conduct sets clear expectations not only for our internal teams, but also for suppliers and partners. It defines what responsible business practice means at Emballator: safe working conditions, ethical conduct and a long-term approach to environmental impact.
By making our expectations transparent, we create a stable foundation for collaboration. It supports efficient communication, reduces uncertainty and helps everyone involved work toward the same standards.
Linked to the Green Bag, but focused on action
The values that guide Emballator - symbolised by the stones, wooden pieces and pinecones in the Green Bag - remain unchanged. What the updated Code of Conduct does is turn those values into clear guidance that supports our day-to-day work.
Where the Green Bag expresses “why”, the Code of Conduct helps with “how”. Together, they create a simple, recognisable framework that strengthens both responsibility and long-term thinking.
A broader view of sustainability
Sustainability at Emballator is a balance of environmental, social and economic responsibility. The updated Code of Conduct brings this wider perspective into focus. It highlights the importance of safe workplaces, fair treatment and respectful collaboration-values that are just as critical as material choices and climate goals.
It encourages early dialogue, careful resource use and an open environment where concerns can be raised. It also reinforces our commitment to ensuring high standards across all sites and suppliers.
As Maria Edqvist Schultz explains: “Sustainability is about people just as much as materials. Our Code of Conduct helps us protect both.”
A tool for the future
Refreshing our Code of Conduct is a natural step in supporting Emballator’s long-term development. It gives us a clear, practical framework that helps us make decisions, collaborate effectively and maintain the trust placed in us by customers, partners and colleagues.
We are proud of this updated version. It reflects who we are today, supports where we are heading and strengthens our ability to create reliable, responsible packaging solutions for future generations.
