Key Measures and Actions
Energy Efficiency and Building Improvements
- ✓Ongoing LEDification across all sites, including replacement of remaining fluorescent and halogen lighting.
- ✓Installation of heat exchangers, roof insulation, and low-energy UV curing systems to reduce thermal losses and power demand.
- ✓Motion detectors installed in several offices and production rooms to control lighting and limit unnecessary energy use.
- ✓Gradual replacement of fossil-fuel-based heating systems with high-efficiency alternatives.
Renewable Energy
- ✓Deployment of photovoltaic solar panels at sites in Spain and Poland, contributing 3.76% of total electricity consumption in 2024 (up from 1.43% in 2023).
- ✓Evaluation of additional solar capacity across other European sites by 2026.
Fleet Electrification
- ✓Full electrification of the company's car fleet, eliminating direct fuel combustion emissions and significantly reducing Scope 1 emissions.
Water Efficiency
- ✓Installation of rainwater collection systems at new and expanded building sections.
- ✓Awareness-raising campaigns across the Group to promote responsible water usage and reduction of consumption in production and sanitary areas.
Scope 3 Management
- ✓Collaboration with suppliers to reduce the carbon footprint of raw materials, particularly paper, films, and inks.
- ✓Implementation of the Triple R Program (Reduce – Reuse – Recycle) to minimise material intensity and waste.
Monitoring and Verification
- ✓Emission data tracked per m² of production and verified under ISO 14001.
- ✓Continuous improvement monitored through CDP reporting and ISO 14001 management reviews at certified sites.
Through on-site renewable generation, energy and water efficiency upgrades, full fleet electrification, and supplier collaboration, Reynders label printing expects to achieve or exceed all near-term reduction targets by 2027, maintaining continuous improvement toward its 2030 decarbonisation goal.
Paris Agreement Alignment
Reynders label printing's greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets are aligned with the 1.5°C global warming limit of the Paris Agreement, as they reflect the decarbonisation trajectory compatible with science-based targets for the printing and packaging sector.
Integration with Business Strategy
Reynders label printing integrates its climate action plan directly into its corporate and financial strategy. Investments in solar panels, LED curing, and energy-efficiency technologies are part of the annual CAPEX plan, supporting both cost reduction and emission goals. Progress on CO₂ reduction and renewable energy use is reviewed annually by management and the Board.
Unavoidable Emissions Management
Despite ongoing progress, Reynders label printing recognises that certain process-related and energy-intensive emissions remain unavoidable due to the thermal drying and curing stages inherent to label printing and material processing. Such residual emissions could slow down progress toward absolute zero in the short term, especially at sites still partly dependent on natural gas for heat generation and where production scale limits the feasibility of full electrification.

Methodologies and Emission Factors
Reynders label printing follows the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard for the calculation and measurement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3.
- Activity-based method: Uses specific operational data such as electricity consumption (kWh), fuel use (litres), or gas volume (GJ, m³)
- Spend-based method: Relies on financial data (EUR or USD) where activity data are unavailable
GHG Emissions Intensity (location-based)
GHG Emissions Intensity (market-based)

C4: Climate Risks
Process to Identify Climate-Related Impacts
Reynders label printing identifies and assesses climate-related impacts through a structured scenario-based analysis aligned with the IPCC's Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) and the GHG Protocol. The process evaluates potential physical impacts on company operations, supply chains, and GHG emissions under three global warming trajectories — SSP1-2.6 (low emissions), SSP3-7.0 (high emissions), and SSP5-8.5 (very high emissions).
Climate Risk Assessment Status
We have not identified material climate risks. However, we have assessed how sensitive our assets and activities are to identified climate risks.
The assessment considered temperature rise, heatwave frequency, precipitation variability, and drought patterns. All facilities are situated in low-to-moderate exposure zones (NUTS level 2 classification) with limited risk of flooding or extreme drought.
Transition Risks and Opportunities
We have not identified material risks and opportunities. However, we used climate-related scenario analysis to identify transition risks/opportunities and assess exposure.
Transition analysis used the SSP1-2.6 scenario, representing a 1.5°C pathway aligned with the Paris Agreement. Key opportunities arise from energy efficiency, renewable integration, and sustainable product innovation.
Climate Scenarios Used
SSP1-2.6
+1.6°C by 2100
Low-emission pathway reflecting strong global mitigation
SSP3-7.0
+4.0°C by 2100
High-emission scenario with regional adaptation challenges
SSP5-8.5
+4.4°C by 2100
Very high-emission trajectory with fossil-fuel-driven economy
Assets Compatibility
We have not identified assets or activities that are incompatible with the transition to a climate neutral economy or require significant efforts to be compatible with this transition.
Substances of Concern Management
SVHC Management System
Reynders label printing manages the presence of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in its products through a structured REACH compliance system supported by supplier controls, internal documentation, and customer transparency.
Key Actions and Procedures:
- ✓Supplier Declaration and Monitoring: All suppliers are contractually required to confirm REACH registration and disclose the presence of SVHCs listed on the official ECHA Candidate List. Any material containing SVHCs above the 0.1% (w/w) threshold must be reported to Reynders label printing without delay.

Material Resource Inflows
Material Resource Inflows
Reynders label printing's main material inputs consist of paper, plastic films (PP, PE), inks, and adhesives used in label printing. Based on internal estimates, approximately 80% of materials are used for product manufacturing and 20% for packaging. Resource consumption is tracked per 1,000 m² of production under the ISO 14001 environmental management system.
Geographic Origin of Materials
Reynders label printing prioritizes regional sourcing to minimize transport-related emissions and ensure supply chain resilience. The overwhelming majority of materials are sourced from European suppliers, significantly reducing the environmental footprint of logistics operations.
More than 90% of Reynders label printing's materials originate from European countries, with Luxembourg, France, and Germany serving as the primary sourcing hubs. This regional concentration supports shorter delivery times (typically 2-3 days), reduces transportation emissions, and ensures compliance with EU regulatory standards for quality and sustainability.

A significant share of biological materials used by Reynders label printing consists of FSC-certified paper and cardboard, ensuring that fibre-based inputs are sustainably sourced and compliant with the EU's cascade principle of resource use (prioritising reuse and recycling before energy recovery or disposal).
Waste Management and Resource Outflows
Circular Product Design
Reynders label printing applies circularity principles in product design by:
- ✓Promoting recyclable and compostable label constructions
- ✓Using FSC-certified paper and mono-material plastic films where possible
- ✓Reducing material thickness and optimising formats to minimise waste
- ✓Exploring linerless label technologies to eliminate backing waste

Waste Treatment Allocation Methodology
For waste streams where the exact treatment route was not known, conservative allocation factors were applied based on typical waste management practices in Western Europe, using Eurostat statistics as reference. These assumptions were used solely for calculation purposes where no primary information on the actual treatment route was available.
