We proudly announce that Aluflexpack Group is one of the partners of the Vienna University of Economics and Business for this year's Business Case Challengeon the topic "Sustainability and Circular economy"!

Why does Aluflexpack support this project?

As a part of this project, students are solving real-life challengesto exercise their current skillsets, integrate theory with practice, tackle real business issues, experience decision making in real-time projects and develop their creativity and critical thinking.

"On our journey we need young minds that can come up with interesting and sustainable business ideas."

Johannes Steurer, Aluflexpack Group CEO

At Aluflexpack, we believe that students have a large potential to develop business ideas that can materialise in successful endeavours. For this reason, we encourage students to apply their entrepreneurial skills by developing a sustainable and financially profitable business model in the packaging industry, which would highlight ourcommitment as a reliable brand that operates and develops in harmony with nature and society.

Aluflexpack's path - a sustainable partner of choice for the present and future

In addition to learning opportunities about our demanding and high-tech industry and providing innovative solutions for the challenges ahead, we want to show to the students who we are, what we do, which opportunities do we offer for young generations, and, most importantly, to prove our efforts and our commitment to sustainability.

This commitment of ours and the commitment of all other participants in the global economy will ensure a secure and prosperous future for the young generations, whose future is yet to come. We want to build a safe and stable path and guide them on that path through joint development projects.

Aluflexpack's dedication to sustainability

Sustainability remains a guiding principle of the corporate strategy and business model of Aluflexpack. As a producer of flexible packaging, supplying products to numerous leading companies across the globe in various industrial segments, Aluflexpack is aware of its responsibility and its economic, social and environmental impact.

Every day, Aluflexpack's products are in direct contact with food, medicine or personal care goods - with the primary purpose of protecting these goods in the best possible manner to preserve nutritional value, taste and quality for consumers and to prevent goods from being wasted.

We dedicatedly continue to work on producing the best products with the lowest possible use of resources through product development (e.g., downgauging, mono-materials, recycled content products), responsible procurement, waste management, infrastructural superiority and digitalisation in business operations, thus ensuring resource efficiency, cost optimisation, and carbon footprint reduction.

Energy efficiency is recognised as the key lever in the creation of low carbon economy. We choose to use energy from renewable sources in our production wherever this is possible - five out of eight of our production locations use solely green energy. We optimise our production to decrease energy consumption levels and avoid loss of energy.
