Sustainability
Our commitments
To customers
Transparency
We communicate relevant information about our activity through the ECOVADIS, SEDEX, SBTi and CDP platforms in order to contribute to the improvement of social, ethical and environmental practices in our supply chain.
Ecovadis
EcoVadis provides a company sustainability rating service offered through a global platform. It covers a wide range of non-financial management systems that include environmental impacts, labour practices and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
Sedex
The Supply Ethical Data Exchange is a non-profit organisation that promotes ethical and responsible business practices for the development of global supply chains.
CDP
The Carbon Disclosure Project requests information on the management of climate change risks and opportunities. It also manages the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions, to help manage their environmental impacts.
SBTi
The Science Based Targets initiative SBTi drives ambitious climate action in the private sector by enabling companies to set science-based emissions reduction targets.
Product
We innovate to offer our customers packaging solutions that enable them to achieve their goals, but also contribute to being more sustainable and environmentally-friendly.
To people
Stakeholder management is an absolutely essential element in the development of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy . We establish a constant dialogue with all actors in the value chain to understand their needs, anticipate new trends, and provide greater added value.
To the Environment
Sustainable value chain management
In line with our firm commitment to the circular economy and the responsible management of resources, at Hinojosa we ensure the sustainable origin of raw materials at all times by implementing chain of custody management systems in 90% of our plants. In addition, we require FSC® certification from our paper and paperboard suppliers.
Climate change
As a company we must contribute to the fight against climate change and to the responsible use of resources. In this context, one of our priorities is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We do this by promoting the use of renewable energies through projects such as the installation of biomass boilers and solar photovoltaic power plants.
In terms of mobility, we promote energy efficiency through the use of more efficient mobility systems, providing collective transport systems for employees, as well as bicycle racks or electric charging stations. These actions are complemented by IT tools that optimise truck loading and logistics routes.
Water
For production processes linked to the manufacture of paper and cardboard packaging, we have to use water, an absolutely essential resource.
We are therefore keenly aware of the importance of water and we align our sustainability strategy with for it: we have water treatment facilities at our plants and we run numerous initiatives aimed at reusing treated water or implementing systems to minimise water consumption.
Waste
Our firm commitment to protecting the environment and reducing our environmental impact is aligned with the Circular Economy Action Plan adopted by the European Commission in 2015. In order to achieve this objective, we reuse 100% of the waste generated in our processes and re-integrate it back into the production process to continue generating value.
We also analyse each process with the intention of minimising the generation of waste at source. When this is not possible for technical and/or economic reasons, we prioritise its recovery by actively collaborating with suppliers.
