We are aiming to be net-zero by 2050, and all our production sites are certified to the ISO 14001 environmental management system that provides us with a framework to continually reduce our environmental footprint. In 2024, we developed a comprehensive strategy to decarbonise our company as well as our value chain. Our near-term targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), while our net-zero target by 2050 is under validation. We also have an important role to play in helping our customers to reduce their environmental footprint. We do this through our solutions, such as the Hydra Ultrasonic bottle washer that reduces heat and water use, and our expertise in areas such as recycled PET and lightweighting.
Sustainability is not only related to the environment, but also to social and governance topics. This is why at Sidel, we have set ambitious ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) targets to ensure we proactively contribute to combatting climate change, enforce human rights and promote responsible governance.
With more than 40 years of experience, Sidel offers solutions for producing high-quality bottled water with minimal environmental and cost impact. Sustainable bottled water production requires the utmost attention to hygienic conditions and product quality, as well as appealing bottle design to win on the shelves, as consumers demand unique bottle shapes with a premium look and feel that exceeds the quality of tap water. At the same time, bottle lightweighting is needed to reduce the environmental impact and cost of bottling operations and transportation.
