Sustainability at BOBST

A commitment to innovation and responsibility
For 130 years, we have remained a family-owned business by anticipating change and continuously evolving to meet industry needs. Our ability to adapt has always been guided by a broader perspective - one that values people and the environment as fundamental to long-term success.

By integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles across our value chain, we develop resource-efficient solutions that help customers reduce waste, optimize energy use, and advance circularity.

Shaping the future of the packaging industry
The packaging industry is transforming, driven by connectivity, digitalization, automation, and sustainability. These pillars are shaping a more agile, efficient, and responsible value chain. Sustainability plays a key role in this evolution, ensuring that innovation leads to lower environmental impact, improved performance, and circular solutions.

Every innovation tells a story - one of progress, responsibility, and impact.
At BOBST, advancing sustainability requires collaboration and long-term vision. While competition accelerates technological advancements, cooperation drives lasting transformation. We work closely with suppliers, customers, and industry leaders to develop solutions that set new standards, expand our technology reach, and shape the future of packaging.

Caring for People, Preserving the Planet
We develop technologies that enhance efficiency, safety, and sustainability across the packaging industry. From the way we design our equipment to how we cooperate with partners, our approach prioritizes responsible production, lower environmental impact, and safer and more efficient working conditions.

Rethink. Redesign. Reduce. Reuse. Remanufacture. Recycle.
Sustainability at BOBST is about continuous improvement - developing smarter processes and solutions that drive circularity. Our goal is to help customers transition to more efficient, low-impact production models, ensuring both economic and environmental progress.

Explore our approach to sustainability
BOBST’s commitment to sustainability extends across all aspects of our business - from strategy and operations to the entire packaging life cycle.
