Sustainability
At Boxon, we continuously work on sustainability issues. We are aware of our responsibility as an internationally active company in the packaging industry. It is important for us to proactively drive and communicate socially and environmentally sustainable changes within the framework of our corporate responsibility.
In 2023, we have continued to work on our sustainability strategy with the following three cornerstones in focus:
● Sustainable packaging solutions
● Circular and climate neutral
● Fairness & equality
Our long-term sustainability agenda is reinforced by these cornerstones, and this will form the basis of the Boxon Group’s future plan for achieving our 2030 goals.
