First Manufacturing Company Sustainability Actions

Published first sustainability report

The company says it published its first Sustainability Report in June 2025. It says the report covers actions taken in 2024 and is meant to improve transparency for stakeholders. The company also notes that it was not legally required to publish the report under CSRD (the EU rule that sets sustainability reporting duties for many companies), so it chose to do it voluntarily. That suggests it is starting to formalise its ESG reporting, even though the main evidence here comes from the company itself.

Measured water footprint

The company says it was the first manufacturing company in Poland to calculate its water footprint, which means it measured how much water its operations use and affect. It says the data led to upgrades in its plants that reduced water use and pollution. It also launched a prototype system in Gdańsk that uses rainwater for sanitary needs. These steps point to a practical effort to manage water more carefully in production.

Started carbon footprint work

The company says it measured Scope 1 and 2 carbon footprints in 2023, and Scope 3 in 2024. Scope 1 covers direct emissions from its own operations, Scope 2 covers emissions from purchased energy, and Scope 3 covers other indirect emissions such as suppliers and transport. It also says it is preparing a decarbonisation strategy for 2040. This shows the company is moving from basic measurement toward longer-term climate planning.

Improved employee facilities

The company says it has been improving social facilities in its production plants and is working to meet International Labour Organization (ILO) best practices, which are global rules and guidance for fair and safe work. It also says it is upgrading employee accommodation and facilities. These actions suggest a focus on worker welfare, especially in areas linked to labour conditions and daily working life.

Joined ESG and governance groups

The company says it is part of the 30% Club, a campaign that pushes for better gender balance in leadership. It also says women held 34% of managerial roles at the end of 2023. In addition, it says it expanded the board by adding Joanna Sprengel, who also serves as CFO. These steps point to a stronger focus on governance, leadership structure, and representation.

Used sustainability-linked indices

The company says it has been listed in several ESG-related indices, including the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), MSCI Global Standard Index, and FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index. These are third-party index families that screen companies on environmental, social, and governance factors. The content says the company was ranked 13th out of 73 healthcare companies in DJSI Emerging Markets in 2020. This is a sign of external recognition, although the details shown here are limited and mostly come from the company’s own page.

Launched online shop to cut transport

Sofidel says its e-commerce portal was also a sustainability step because it could reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to transport and improve logistics. The company says the shop lets customers order paper products directly, with home delivery and subscription options. It also says the move fits with its wider sustainability strategy. This is mainly a distribution change, but the company presents it as a way to lower transport-related emissions.
