Syntegon has reduced its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 40% compared with 2019, according to its newly published 2025 Sustainability Report, as the packaging and processing technology supplier works towards achieving net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2040.
The company, which supplies equipment and lifecycle services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and food industries, said the report outlines progress across its environmental, social and governance priorities. It is Syntegon’s first sustainability disclosure prepared in orientation to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and European Sustainability Reporting Standards.
The disclosure was also assured by a third party. Syntegon said it had adopted the CSRD-oriented approach in place of the Global Reporting Initiative as its primary reporting framework, reflecting increasing regulatory expectations and its efforts to improve transparency and governance.
“The transformation toward a more sustainable industry is accelerating and we want to actively shape it together with our customers and other stakeholders,” said Torsten Türling, Chief Executive Officer of Syntegon. “By combining technology, operational excellence, and lifecycle expertise, we are turning sustainability ambitions into measurable progress.”
In addition to the reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, Syntegon reported greenhouse gas emissions intensity of 6.73 kg of CO2 equivalent per €1,000 of revenue in 2025.
Electricity sourced from renewable sources accounted for 81% of the company’s consumption, an increase of 11 percentage points compared with 2024. Syntegon also reported improvements in employee training hours and workplace safety indicators, although detailed figures were not included in the announcement accompanying the report.
“Our focus is on implementation and measurable impact,” said Petros Kapelles, Chief Operations Officer of Syntegon. “We are systematically advancing decarbonization across our operations while helping customers improve efficiency, reduce waste, and optimize resource consumption.”
Syntegon said sustainability forms part of its wider corporate development and value-creation strategy. The company is integrating energy and resource efficiency considerations into its processing and packaging equipment, lifecycle services and operational improvement programmes.
Its stated objective is to help pharmaceutical and food manufacturers reduce emissions and material waste while maintaining productivity, regulatory compliance, product integrity and operational resilience.
Syntegon’s sustainability performance has also been assessed by EcoVadis, CDP and the Science Based Targets initiative. The company said its latest EcoVadis assessment placed it among the top 2% of companies evaluated worldwide.
It received a B score for climate change from CDP in 2025, while its emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
“We are proud that our sustainability efforts regularly receive positive assessments by external experts,” said Yvonne Gillet, Vice President Sustainability at Syntegon. “This recognition reinforces our commitment to continuing on our path.”
The report includes information on Syntegon’s governance structures, decarbonisation roadmaps and measures intended to reduce emissions and resource consumption. It also covers the company’s continuing work on occupational health and safety.
Syntegon said it would maintain its long-term target of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040.
