The concept of sustainability is firmly rooted in our corporate culture and is an integral part of our corporate strategy. Our holistic philosophy places economic, ecological and social aspects in balance. To preserve and, if possible, to improve our quality of life, this triad includes the meaningful and efficient use of raw materials and capital, expertise and experience, machines and processes. As a responsible and future-oriented family business, we have been assuming responsibility for our future and for the generations to come for decades and we are aware of the effects of our actions today on the world of tomorrow. In the context of our sustainability management, we fulfil our responsibility in the field of tension that arises from being a commercial enterprise with regional roots and a corporate group with operations throughout Europe. This generates high levels of transparency, trust and added value for the entire WEPA Group, including all stakeholders – ranging from employees to customers. “We understand that long-term ecological success, the conservation of natural resources and a commitment to society are closely linked.” “Accordingly, we are happy to publish an overview of our company’s longtime activities in our Sustainability Report. We have defined five strategic fields of action for our sustainable future orientation: our foundation to start, future fibre, operational efficiency, our sustainable hygiene paper portfolio and its extension through innovation. These fields are reflected in our Sustainability Strategy, which is aligned with our ‘Perform & Transform – WEPA 2023’ strategy programme.” Martin Krengel CEO WEPA Gruppe WEPA SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020 ↓ Our 4+1 Sustainability Strategy All of our business activities are based on a foundation of responsible conduct as an employer, social commitment, compliance and product safety.
