An integrated sustainability strategy at group level.

Within Graphius Group, sustainability is structurally embedded in the corporate strategy. As a family company with several specialised production sites, the group assumes its responsibility for the environment, people and society, focusing on measurable impact and continuous improvement. Through scale, knowledge sharing and centralised succession, Graphius Group is able to widely implement and further develop sustainable practices within the graphics sector.

The group's sustainability approach aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and focuses on realistic targets, transparent reporting and concrete actions.

Transparency, certification and reporting

Graphius Group reports biannually on its sustainability policy, achievements and focus areas in its own sustainability report. This reporting provides insight into environmental impact, social initiatives and governance at group level and is an important instrument for follow-up and adjustment.

Certification and Reporting

Within the group, work is carried out in accordance with internationally recognised standards and certifications, including ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 9001 (quality management). Several production sites are FSC®-certified (FSC-C014767) and are audited annually. In addition, Graphius Group achieves a bronze score within the EcoVadis Sustainability Rating, underlining its structural approach to sustainable business.

Sustainable production and energy management

Within Graphius Group, production processes are continuously optimised to reduce the consumption of raw materials, energy and materials. Investments in modern printing technology make it possible to reduce waste through automatic colour control and a more efficient start-up process, leading to fewer proofs and lower consumption of paper and ink.

In terms of energy, too, the group is committed to a combination of in-house production and sustainable procurement.

In addition, the group applies circular principles in the production process, including through the reuse of aluminium offset plates. These are collected after use and processed into new aluminium, keeping valuable raw materials in circulation.

People, inclusion and social commitment, employees are at the heart of Graphius Group.

The group invests in welfare, training and sustainable employment, creating opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds. Within the organisation, employees of multiple nationalities work together in an inclusive working environment.

Graphius Group actively cooperates with sheltered workshops and external partners and offers opportunities to people from vulnerable target groups, including through training and inflow trajectories. In addition, the group promotes sustainable mobility through an extensive bicycle policy, supporting employees in climate-conscious choices.

Sustainability as a shared responsibility

Within Graphius Group, sustainability is not seen as an end goal, but as a continuous process. Through transparent reporting, targeted investments and cooperation with customers, suppliers and employees, the group aims to further increase its positive impact.

In this respect, sustainable business practices are not a stand-alone initiative, but a structural part of how Graphius Group assumes its role within the graphics sector and society.
