At BOBST, understanding our impact is the first step toward meaningful change. Our materiality assessment ensures we focus our sustainability efforts where they matter most - across our operations, equipment, and the entire packaging lifecycle. By aligning with global standards and listening to stakeholders, we drive targeted actions that create real value for our industry and the planet.
Prioritizing our actions
Every decision we make shapes the future. To remain resilient and forward-thinking, we must focus on the sustainability topics that matter most. In 2020, we performed our first impact materiality assessment based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards to evaluate how our activities affect people and the environment.
In 2024, we expanded our approach by conducting a double materiality assessment aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This assessment provides a broader perspective, examining:
How BOBST’s activities affect the environment and society (impact materiality).
How sustainability factors influence BOBST’s financial performance and long-term resilience (financial materiality).
